"Northern Lights have been photographed in the USA as far south as Wisconsin and Washington"

On several occasions during the winter of 1967 I witnessed Northern Lights in South Bend Indiana (41° North) - significantly farther South than Wisconsin.

I have no idea if that was an unusual year for Solar activity.
I have not seen them at that Latitude since.

They are fantastic to see, literally lights dancing in the sky.
I hope some northern Freepers get to see them.

I’m at 38 degrees north (SF Bay Area). Here’s hoping for a light show!

The dreaded ion storm. The bane of many Federation starships that wandered too far off course

I was born & raied in Wisconsin.

Northern Lights were fairly common when I was a kid on the farm.
