It will be ok. I'm wearing my aluminum hat today.

[Marbus]

I always wear a hat like that, got to keep the Gov. out of my thoughts...

[Keverian FireCry]

Dont forget to wrap aluminum around your personals too.

[Forthe]

Thanks for the laughs guys, this morning was really sucking.

I noticed that even Clark Kent was impacted by this solar flare. Poor superman!

2010 version:

Hoping to see something tonight! And yes, I WILL INDEED be wearing my TFHat!

Night owls take note: A spectacular sky show of rippling auroras may be on tap for late Tuesday through early Wednesday, according to astrophysicists, and the phenomenon may be more widely visible than normal.

On Sunday cameras aboard NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured an eruption on the sun's surface that hurled tons of plasma—charged gas—directly toward our planet in an event called a coronal mass ejection. (See sun pictures taken by the solar observatory.)

I approve this thread bump!

Night of the Comet comes to mind for some reason.

No joy. We had low clouds last night. =/ Anyone fare better?

[Fairweather Pure]

My wife said even though it was cloudy at around 1am and 3:30 am she saw various flashes across the sky that were orangish in color and continued both times until she fell back asleep. I understand that tonight we may have a better view so I may give it a shot.
