There was a massive electrical disturbance on the surface of the sun the other day, and so I saw several news articles predicting the possibility of auroras visible across North America last night. I was expectant at getting the information and I got up four times over night and looked out the window to see if anything was happening, but could see only dark skies.
This morning when my clock radio went off, the talk was all about the amazing photos the radio station had received, showing the brilliantly colored auroras that had occurred across BC. This morning I received a text message from my old friend Gary who lives in North Carolina. He wrote to say he saw the pink haze of an aurora down in that southern state last night.
Well, as usual during most astronomical events, the skies over the our part of the Robson Valley were covered with an overcast of low cloud which blocked out any exciting event happening in the sky.
We did have a nice looking sunset yesterday and I guess I will just have to be happy to see that.
