jrastro Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Looking through the forum, I have seen that there was a fantastic aurora last night. I was just wondering if there was any chance at all of it being visible from southern England tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owmuchonomy Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I haven't had any alerts at all this afternoon yet. Yesterday I got loads of storm force alerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcsheffield Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 No Alerts yet, the online news site were saying its going to be good viewing again tonight, Aurora Watch Website Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beulah Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Looking unlikely. Keep an eye on this site: http://aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk/ Sadly I rely on their email alert service and didn't get a warning last night. They have admitted something went wrong, which is decent of them! http://wp.lancs.ac.uk/aurorawatchuk/2016/03/07/we-got-it-wrong-last-night-and-heres-why/ Another site.. http://www.aurora-service.eu/aurora-forecast/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 There's also here which may be of use http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-30-minute-forecast I'm not sure what went wrong with aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk last night - I only knew about the display from a tweet from Kielder Observatory saying someone could see it from Newcastle..

Disscusion started here fairly early on. Got my original e-mail alert from SpaceWeather.Com POLAR GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Today, March 6th, Earth is entering a stream of solar wind, and the encounter has sparked a G1-class geomagnetic storm. Inside the stream, magnetic fields have a negative polarity--a condition which favors auroras. High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for Northern Lights.

Mr Spock Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Frustrating to see complete novices on my local facebook page posting aurora pics from last night. Grrrr..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beulah Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Very gutted to have missed it too. Northern horizon is completely obliterated by a mountain, so I have to go a fair way to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
