I can expect lots of overcast skies this week, something that happens all too often when unusual astronomical phenomena happen.
I actually managed to see the Northern Lights in the Chicago area a couple of times, once (appropriately enough) just outside the city of Aurora.

UK-based Boingers may be interested in AuroraWatch UK, “a free service offering alerts of when the aurora might be visible from the UK”.
An article I read sometime ago mentioned that some people believe sunspots cause global warming.We could actually have a chance of spotting the sunspots with the right equipments.
Here’s the link to the article if you wanna know more -
