[vsnet-chat 2784] Aurora

["Maciej Reszelski" <macres@pro.onet.pl>]

From few raports:

Georg Comello: very clear, and a beautiful aurora
Reinder J. Bouma: Twilight, session aborted because of spectacular aurora!
Timo Kinnunen: Clear, all sky aurorae all night long.
I had no choice but to enjoy.
...and my comment:
I hadfor more than 1 hour: curtains, rays, blood-red  flames up
to 60 degrees in the sky or even higher.

From recent mails from metorobs list:

Check this site for the latest Aurora level, and if you're out checking
meteors tonight... look North (if you're at a high enough lattitude !!

Subject: Aurora Alert -- April 6, 2000

An interplanetary shock front passed NASA's ACE spacecraft around 
1630 UT on April 6, 2000, abruptly raising the solar wind velocity 
from 375 to nearly 600 km/s.  Usually such disturbances arrive at 
Earth about one hour after they pass ACE. Aurorae at middle latitudes
could be in the offing tonight.  Follow this developing story at
