sidevalvepete Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 A picture of the Southern Lights from the farm tonight. About 7.30pm, late autumn. Not usually visible at our latitude but quite magnificent tonight. Next pic shows the daytime vista from a similar place on the farm. Not sure why it is so strong tonight but I think the Northern Lights are putting on a show for you guys up north. Haven't seen this before in my 65 years... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesy Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 Nice. No luck at my little acre in N. Illannoy. If there's a celestial event worth staying up for in N. Illannoy, you can count on cloud cover. Friends 20 miles north had some good viewing, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sniper Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 I wonder if Dr. Hans Zarkov, formerly of NASA, has any insight into these strange intergalactic upsets? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maok Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 I believe it's due to an extraordinary sun flare that occurred a few days ago. Similar affects in the attic as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
