| How many of you have seen it, and if you have, what was it like? I saw it last year, as the common green wave pattern. Around here you can probably see it about 15 times a year... | |||

I've never seen it in my life. I even don't think I can see it where I live.  Would be cool some time to take an extended vacation somewhere up north where it'd be visible. |

I was born way north of the Arctic circle (around 70 degrees north, actually. About as far north as the northern coast of Alaska), and lived there for 4 years. Those 4 years, I saw a lot of Aurora Borealis, naturally (not that I remember much, I was, after all, only 4-years-old  ). And that was the "good stuff", not the poor kind of Aurora Borealis you can hardly make out when you look at it, which you find further to the south.When I was 4, though, I moved down to southern Norway, and south of the Arctic circle. I now live at around 60 degrees north, which is still pretty far to the north. About as far north as Juneau, Alaska. Anyway, we can still see Aurora Borealis here, but it's not anywhere as good as the kind of Aurora Borealis you can see up where I used to live. You really won't find good Aurora Borealis until you go north of the arctic circle. By the way, the place I was born actually has its own Aurora Borealis observatory.

| Here, up north, its almost a weekly event. Its overated, just a bunch of colours waving in the sky. After a dozen times it gets old. |

Originally posted by TooL What's your location? Well, I am in Ottawa, but I went up to YellowKnife a few years back and I got to see. It's quite a spectacular image. |

| Southern Ontario should be able to see it, but the light pollution dilutes it. I've only seen it once, and that was when I was in Banff | |||

Im never going to be able to get that far up north as of now. Though seeing the northern lights is something on my before-I-die to do list  |

| Never seen one and it might be doubtful for me to ever see one. Wherever you go here, it's city and way too many lights to see all the stars...unless I head out to the Everglades that is. Must be a wonderful sight, nonetheless. | |||

| Not exactly sure when it happened...but whatever time when the magnetic belts were going awry one night they made sure to notify us to look north from our vantage point in Central Illinois to try and see it...barely saw it but it was there. So I've only seen it once and the one time I've seen it...couldn't really see it. (like...a few red lights and that was it) It's probably asking a lot out of people in the US unless you're really really north. |

| Dunno if we can see it... Given the fact I live in a big city with pollution and that, I severely doubt it.  Full moon, yes - aurora, no. |

| This thread started to make me think about that one Simpsons ep when Seymour said that there was an Aurora Borealis in his kitchen. I would ask if that counts, but he said that only because he wanted to cover up the fact that his kitchen was on fire. | |||

| Here in Spokane, WA, it's only happened one time that I can remember, probably 4-5 years ago. It was the most spectacular natural phenomenon I had ever seen...I sat outside my house for probably an hour, staring straight up into the sky. It looked like rivers of vivid greenish-bluish energy flowing upwards from the horizon to the top of the sky. It was absolutely breathtaking, and I really hope it happens again soon. | |||

| It's an extremely beautiful event. The pictures of the aurora found on Saturn and Jupiter are also beautiful... It offers a chance to see what is actually happening from a distance Apparently after a coronal mass ejection (a massive solar flare), there was enough radiation released to mess with the magnetic field over London... Of course, it's extremely rare, and apparently it happened before all of us were born |

Originally posted by The SomerZ Well, I've lived here for 18 years.. (at 69 degrees north) and well, I've seen it plenty of times. It's nothing special really.. it's just the northern light.. And most of the time they're green or white/yellow like, but they can also be purple, red and (?blue?), but that's rare. I've only seen it purple once, and that was only for a short moment. |

| I haven't seen it ever. I really don't want to though, since I would have to travel and traveling isn't very fun. I also can't stand sitting and watching fireworks though they got boring very fast. | |||

| It's visible really well normally at least once a year once you get this far north, but I'd have to go to a more "outskirt" area of Green Bay... | |||

| I've never seen Aurora Borealis where I live in central Maine, but I saw it when I was in New Brunswick a couple of years ago. |
