Strong aurora borealis alert

Mother Nature is sending us a gift tonight – a major show of the aurora borealis. It seems like a very long time since this has happened. It will last for about 48 hours, so tonight and tomorrow night should both be good times to have your camera and tripod handy, and good viewing locations in mind. It will be visible as far south as Prince Rupert, British Columbia. Unlike the last couple of opportunities, we even have a perfect weather forecast for viewing! See the UAF Geophysical Institute Web page for regular aurora forecasts.
