I think I missed it. Might have saw it though, because for about 10 minutes yesterday the sky was tinted red, haha.

I was indoors at a concert until 11pm which I think is 2am Toronto time, so I guess I missed it. I didn't even know it was going to happen.

Re: Did Anyone else in US/CAN notice the Auroras 10/24/11?
Astronomy is a hobby of mine, and the way it happens is through a solar storm hitting the magnetic shield. Or just radiation in general.
However, since most of it comes from the sun, and the sun tends to work in 14 year cycles, we are expecting the next maximum of this cycle to be March 2013. Which means leading up to this period, auroras should hit more frequently, and stronger as well. If you miss this maximum, you will have to wait until 2027 for the next one. As for you Netjet!, that red tinted sky could very well have been the lights. They tend to be a mixture of green, red and purple lights.

Wow, this looks awesome. Although, I doubt I would've seen it from gay Texas. ):
Francoit's post is probably a bot, lol. |

Re: Did Anyone else in US/CAN notice the Auroras 10/24/11?
I would've loved to have seen this stuff... damn. Unfortunately, I live so close to the Pacific Ocean that it's foggy just about every single night, so I miss out on cool things like meteor showers and auroras. Texas is pretty far south for an aurora...

Or if you're immediately below them: Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) can happen at any time, and that's where auroras are most likely to have a strong presence. There is an aurora tracker for the northern hemisphere on this site: http://www.thenightskyguy.com/?page_id=24 It updates every 10 minutes. on the 24th, the yellow colour went as far south as just above Texas. You're probably not going to see anything unless you're at least in the white colour.

Re: Did Anyone else in US/CAN notice the Auroras 10/24/11?
Thing is, I live in the suburbs with a fair amount of light pollution, and now I'm not dedicated enough to drive all the way out to the mountains. In mid 2010, I went camping in Victoria -the state below mine- because apparently there were some incredible aurorae lights, but ****ing Australian weather, it was cloudy as hell for three straight nights and I ended up going home with what I suspected to be mild frostbite and nothing else. @_@
Maybe if I visit the US at the right time I can hang with some of you guize and admire the lights. |

You can use this light pollution map of the Americas to gauge where you would find darker areas: If you have an exact city I can give you a narrower window, down to a town. The further north (or south) you are, the better your chances at seeing auroras. If you are north, you'll get a pretty good show frequently if you are at Churchill or further north. (Or, northern ontario, Hudson bay area) Places such as Toronto and similar areas along the line will get shows during CMEs that travel towards earth. These are going to happen more and more frequently over the next couple years. The last one that happened was in mid september, 2011.
