OK maybe you don't...
Apparently there was a massive solar flare last night which set off amazing northern lights. And I snoozed through it. And I should have known as all you could get on the AM radio here last night was Toronto, Rochester and Syracuse. More detail at Space Weather News. I think I am going to put a bullhorn in the house that responds to their northern lights alerts because I am sick of missing these.
Did anyone else see them?

I saw them at 8:00, and they were still going at 11:30. Absolutely breathtaking. I live in the middle of Ottawa, so I usualy don't get to see much in the way of night-time lightshows - but the northern lights lit up the sky last night. Greens n' blues n' yellows..... amazing.

I didn't hear about them until today. Bastards.

Stron auroras predicted for tonight but you probably already knew that, right?

Damn! I was hoping for some strong ones.

Nope, just the stron ones.
