She did say the colors were red and white ripples, so colorwise, that fits with your idea. And are the weather reporters here fined if they say the words like pollution or smog? Happy valley can only be hazey??? -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces+blanchard-a=ugs.utah.edu@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces+blanchard-a=ugs.utah.edu@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Michael Carnes Sent: Wednesday, January 17, 2007 1:00 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Aurora Visible?
A co-worker/friend in my office who lives on Scenic Drive (about 2200 South and 2700 East) tells me that she saw the aurora both last night (the 16th) and the night before around 4 to 4:30 a.m.
I don't see reports of any activity south of the Arctic Circle. You may have to use all your diplamatic skills with your coworker, but I think she saw skyglow (city lights off of particles and droplets in the sky). It would be accentuated by the smog (ahem, haze) that's currently filling the valley. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list Utah-Astronomy@mailman.xmission.com http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy Visit the Photo Gallery: http://www.utahastronomy.com
