We've got aurorae!

The aurora as seen over Ben Bulben, 29 October 2003

They’re diffuse, but we’ve got them. From our position in west Wicklow, the whole northern sky is lit up with a greenish glow. The beginnings of spikes and “curtain” formations are visible when you look at them with eyes averted. Much clearer curtain forms appeared in Meath, north of us, around 7 PM…and made the 9 o’clock news.

Too cool…!
