Guys if you live up in these latitudes and it is a cloudless night tonight (and for the next couple of years!) then there is a very good chance you will see Aurora tonight. We are just entering a period of high sunspot activity and solar flares/ magnetic storms so be prepared to see a lot of aurorae, loose your Sky satelitte TV, your satnav and any satelitte communications as they are all liable to damage/interference from solar storms 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

A faint shimmer of green and or red light high up in the heavens on a clear starry night

Nobody believed me when I was chatting about it, even though it was commented on the local news

As a teenager that was more likely to be the effects of red stripe

i was a good teenager I'll have you know

on this day in question I was just wandering the streets, chatting (and keeping fit and out of trouble for a change ) and was up away from the street lights so got a good view of the stars
