I feel like taking a holiday.
It happens near the North pole and South pole, but seen from tousands of miles away.
It is happening tonight (several times so far), because of that huge solar flare that was thousands times bigger than the earth, traveling near 55 million miles per hour, but mostly contained by the sun's gravity. What escaped was radio wave interference and so forth.
So I finally have an excuse to visit russia?Originally posted by Spindulik@31 October 2003 - 02:35

On the Peripheral
I see it often. Sometimes it's almost commonplace, others it's incredible.
things are quiet until hitler decides he'd like to invade russia
so, he does
the russians are like "OMG WTF D00DZ, STOP TKING"
and the germans are still like "omg ph34r n00bz"
the russians fall back, all the way to moscow
and then they all begin h4xing, which brings on the russian winter
the germans are like "wtf, h4x"
-- WW2 for the l33t
heres some better pics, even as far south as Georgia and texas

Clip and paste from spaceweather.com
X-FLARE: Giant sunspot 486 produced another remarkable solar flare on Nov. 2nd at 1725 UT. This one measured X8 on the Richter scale of solar flares. Because the sunspot is nearing the sun's western limb, the blast was not aimed squarely at Earth. Even so, a coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading our way. Auroras could appear on Nov. 3rd or 4th when the electrified cloud delivers a glancing blow to Earth's magnetic field. Also, an X3-flare erupted near sunspot 488 at 0130 UT on Nov. 3rd.
