it's wound down now. pretty awesome for a few days.

by the way, where is that comet?

Cool.
I was outside of Denali last August and saw the Aurora Borealis two nights in a row. What an amazing spectacle.

Viewing this amazing site should be on everyone's to-do list!

-Z-man.

Pretty rare, even up here. Too cloudy most of the time. Walked the dogs about midnight Tuesday. Ran into so many neighbors standing outside in the freezing snow just staring up.

the comet was lost in the glow. even at mag 2 it was overwhelmed.

Very beautiful. Thanks for posting. I hope to see them some day.
