    Northern lights might be seen as far south as Pennsylvania tonight. For you northern folks, go out and have a look.

    I spent a year in AK while in the USCG. We'd spend hours lying on the shoreline
    of the Bering Straight (up near Russia) watching the lights dance in the sky.

    Way too much light pollution where I am now. Either that or too cloudy. That was the case last night.

    My daughter went to college in Plattsburgh NY. At the time, and maybe still, they had
    a video feed from the Adirondack Sky Center in nearby Tupper Lake. (~70 miles) It is
    listed as one of the best places for night sky observations east of the Mississippi.

    The Adirondack Sky Center "sits squarely in the Adirondacks, six million acres that
    is permanently protected as “Forever Wild” by the New York State Constitution,
    which means the region will remain wilderness and not be threatened by urban lighting. The low humidity and high altitude add clarity to the dark skies. Local
    officials recognized early on the special nature of their dark skies and agreed to
    install down-facing streetlights, which help to curb light pollution"

    They mentioned it in our local paper, with the caveat that the weather would suck.

    I used to wake the kids at 2AM and take them down to a local golf course to watch
    the annual Geminid Meteor Shower. Then I made them go to school.
