Earlier this week, we were told that the Northern Lights would be able to be seen from Washington State tonight. Sadly, the aurora forecast cooled down and now I don't think we're going to see anything here. Which is a real shame, as we have perfect clear skies tonight. I've only seen the Northern Lights once, in Iceland, and that was a long time ago. So I quite fancied the idea of getting out of the city and viewing the lights (though where I would drive to is a good question - away from the light pollution, but do you go for high elevation or a north-facing body of water?). Even if the reality of seeing the Northern Lights is nowhere near as good as it looks in photos. But I hope there will be more opportunities with an active sun over the next few years.
