Northern Lights – Not This Time…

For those who tried to see the predicted display of the Northern Lights, we hope you enjoyed the chance to go outside and take a look at the night sky.

I visited a semi-dark site near my home in Peoria, IL, but saw only stars and clouds.

We know that the Coronal Mass Ejection happened, but the bulk of it seems to have missed Earth. I received one report of a low, somewhat weak Auroral display in Northern Michigan (latitude 45 degrees North). See photo:

So, what will I do the next time an exciting prediction is made? I think you know.

Keep looking up, and you will see something!
