AURORA OUTLOOK: Sky watchers should be alert for
auroras after nightfall on July 11th when Earth is
expected to encounter a solar wind stream flowing from
a coronal hole on the sun. The best observing sites
will be at high latitudes: e.g., southern parts of
Australia and New Zealand, Canada, and northern US
states like Wisconsin and Michigan.

Indeed, I'm getting a gonzo show above Calgary, Alberta right now (11:30pm
MDT). The sky's not even dark yet, I'm within the urban light dome, and yet
I'm already seeing blatant red trimmings on the undersides of the curtains.
Amazing... I'm gonna drive out of town and get the full show. Good night
all!
