Perfect timing! This Florida resident is in Montreal working the races this week. Maybe I’ll get to see some northern lights after all!

I’d love to see the aurora!

The closest I ever came to seeing that was when I was a teenager going to Europe. The people sitting on the other side of the plane had a great view of the aurora. I couldn’t see a thing.

Solar activity was stronger earlier in the year.

Been a weak cycle so far.

What has NASA have to do or say about space, anyway?

Aren't they just focused on Muslim Outreach?
