The Aurora Borealis - better known as the Northern Lights - has been visible over parts of the UK.

 

Can you believe this.

First of all the Super Eclipse Blood Moon now a chance to see this.

In one year.Maybe a month.

I am so happy i could sing, dance.Spin around and may just do one or all of these things.

 

Believe there are chances to see it for the next few weeks.

 

Now i know there are many photographers in these rooms on the CAG.

Who can take a fine picture.

 

If any of you whether mobile or digi camera sees this Aurora in the skies over the next few weeks could you post a picture.

Or maybe as you are keeping a eye on the sky post here when you see it in your area.

 

A early warning so others may look out of windows and see it.

 

Link that explains.With many pictures and other links to explain how and when you might see this marvel of the skies.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-34472301

 

Off now to take a peek. Checking,Camera, Tripod, Telescope,back pack,supplies,binoculars,stun gun,dog, ok should be enough for a hour or two.

I have never seen it have you?

 

Just doing a radar check on cloud etc.

Check out your area.Whatever day,when you press i feel it will be current. Up-to date.

Pop posty code in and away you go.

No good if cloudy or danger of storms etc.

Otherwise we would be lighting up the skies with all that metal we will be carrying.

A link for you.

Shock as NASA confirms asteroid TWO MILES wide will pass close to Earth in 48 HOURS

 

A HUGE asteroid measuring almost two miles across will skim past Earth in just 48 HOURS, Nasa has confirmed.

While you are aiming your cameras at the skies looking for the Northern Lights could you take a picture or video of the Asteroid as it skims over your rooftops.

Is this down to the sun emitting more radiation ?

 

The sun has been going through an active phase and some say this is partly the reason for global warming. Some of the solar flares have been massive and if they were in the right direction satellites would be badly affected.

Is it this one they are referring?

16 million miles away !

 

NASA or any other official body would not make any announcement if an asteroid were to hit, because of the consequences. If you were living in coastal areas, you would probably drive to the nearest high point, just in case it caused a tsunami. If you lived in a city, you may be tempted to travel to the nearest area of open ground, to avoid collapsing buildings. There would be total panic.

Would or could this if it happened affect my viewing of the Bear Garden.Or my mobile.

Solar Flares a picture please when one approaches.May not need the barbecue lighting if one of these comes near.

Free heat.

Harness these flares,keep them in my shed for warmth in winter.

So that is the little devil.So small,a pinprick.Will be hard to photograph.

Could get very interesting this weekend

 

Hope the Asteroid has no mates with him.

[tobyjugg2]

If that one hit anywhere there would be little point except for getting a grandstand view,

... but don't forget to bend over and kiss your ass goodbye before you start watching
