Nice… although, I went to the explore website, and got nothing but a loading thingie… the youtube stream seems to work for me, FYI!
damn…wife and I had a trip to Iceland planned this fall to see the lights. Still holding on to hope that this shit blows over enough to still go.
Just think: if we had another Carrington Event, we’d be able to see the Aurora Borealis as far south as the Carribeans!. Of course, civilization would collapse immediately, so not something to wish for.
I remember seeing the first televised images of the Northern Lights, on the evening news. They were not very clear, but it was a technical breakthrough; the sensors on previous TV and video cameras had not been sensitive enough to record them.
