Even though <a href="http://www.solcomhouse.com/index.htm">solar flares</a> are evil and will ultimatly bring down the human kind, they make for really cool <a href="http://www.spaceweather.com/">night light shows</a>. <p> <i>Sky watchers should be on the lookout for aurora during nighttime hours for the next two days. The bright gibbous moon will hamper visibility of faint Northern and Southern Lights, but bright aurora may be visible in spite of the lunar interference. Usually, the best time to see aurora borealis (or aurora australis) is near local midnight.</i> post:www.metafilter.com,2000:site.2453 Thu, 13 Jul 2000 06:53:59 -0800 tiaka aurora auroraborealis space solarflares
