Recent Aurora

No I'm not going to actually be able to tell you I saw one cause it looks like I have missed out again as the maximum chance of seeing anythign was a few days ago when an X2 flare (see [spaceweather.com] for what this means) hit the Earth. I have head reports of people in Northern England seeing variations of brightness through the clouds but no such luck here in Birmingham. It looks like there was a quite a lot of Auroral activity seen across the world though. Some pretty nice green aurora were seen in Northern Illinois (pics [here]) and many others have been posted [here] with some of the images looking absolutely spectacular.. I think that [this one] has to be my favourite though, wow!
