      Then again, some might argue that sharing the designation with millions of other people makes it SLIGHTLY less prestigious…

        As the winner of Time Magazine’s person of the year in 2006, I disagree.

        Interesting viewpoint, where did you publish it?

            Then vigorously protect your copyright in the court system.

        But et al. is by far the most published author, so they are at least sharing in the most prestigious title.

    You can also check the Space Weather Prediction Center to see what you can expect in your area.

        If you scroll down on the site you’ll see a map of the globe as viewed from space towards the North Pole titled The Auroras. If you play the video it’ll show the predicted areas that have a chance to see them. Looking at it earlier it looked like if you aren’t in Canada it’s a pretty low chance.

    For Europeans, late Monday morning into Tuesday

    That’s going to be a big ask, but I missed them last time, so I’ll have to at least try!

      Just remember that you might not see anything with the naked eye, but a camera will pick up the colour. Last time, I was able to get out, and once my eyes were used to the dark, I could see faint grey lines and waves in the sky :)

        Yeah, thanks! I actually remember the advice from last time, I had managed to stay up the second night we were meant to see the lights, and I thought I might have (thought it was grey streaks like you describe), but looking through the camera it was clearly just a mixture of light pollution and clouds 😭

        But forecast says clear skies Monday night, so here’s hoping!

      Yeah IDK if people in the thread are actually familiar with the scale.

      I’m fairly far north and I’m considering turning off my g3 email alerts and just leaving the bigger ones since it’s generally a nothingburger.

        Even the last G4 was barely visible where I was, but I think that had more to do with light pollution more than the intensity. And the timing of it was bad too

    For someone living in sweden south of stockholm this probably means nothing right? I moved here a few months ago but havent been able to see aurora. They say sometimes you can see it from here.

      Unfortunately probably not. G3 events aren’t that uncommon, there’s usually one every couple months. It never hurts to go look for a few minutes though. It’s a pretty rough prediction, it’s not set in stone. The best I’ve seen was a G4 and not the big G5 a few months ago.
