Re: [Utah-astronomy] Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol 196, Issue 4
I have been watching in the late evenings for the last week. Are they a morning phenomena also? What time and direction did you observe this? ________________________________ From: Utah-Astronomy <utah-astronomy-bounces+deepsky100=msn.com@mailman.xmission.com> on behalf of utah-astronomy-request@mailman.xmission.com <utah-astronomy-request@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Monday, June 24, 2019 12:00:07 PM To: utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com Subject: Utah-Astronomy Digest, Vol 196, Issue 4 Send Utah-Astronomy mailing list submissions to utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to utah-astronomy-request@mailman.xmission.com You can reach the person managing the list at utah-astronomy-owner@mailman.xmission.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Utah-Astronomy digest..."

No, I’m sorry to say I didn’t. I was up all night with my telescope in the front yard and it took me until 7 to break it die and put it away. I did not notice any clouds (not that I was looking at the sky much while taking things apsara. Which direction were they? — Joe Sent from my iPhone

Just got this from Shoshana: Date: Mon, 24 Jun 2019 15:12:05 -0600 Yes yes yes Chuck!!!! I saw them. 5 am, north, northeast. I was up all night then noticed them out the window so grabbed the cellphone and ran out thinking "could they be???" First in my life live. Been watching reports on Space weather. Best, Shoshana Can I send pics here? Unfortunately the list doesn't support attachments and pics. But you were looking at the same display, Shoshana. It would have been in the same location for Joe. Ron, probably more overhead to due west from your location. They can occur in evenings and mornings, when the sun is still well below the horizon and the sky still dark. They are near the same altitude as aurorae but illuminated by sunlight. They appear electric blue to silvery in color and are wispy, feathery. I've only ever seen them a couple of times in my life, with certainty, but this morning was a textbook display. I've read that they seem to be on the increase. Whether this is due to an actual increase in frequency, or people are just noticing it in greater numbers, I'm not sure. It just took me by surprise when I looked up this morning, as I let the dog out. On Mon, Jun 24, 2019 at 1:26 PM Joe Bauman via Utah-Astronomy < utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> wrote:

Shoshana, send me the pics you got, I'll see if I can host them somewhere if you don't have a hosting site of your own. C. On Mon, Jun 24, 2019 at 6:23 PM Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:

Shoshana, you are welcome to post them on the Utah Astronomy Club website. We are always glad to see pics by our members. If you like you could email them to me and I’ll put them up, of course with full credit. Thanks, Joe Sent from my iPhone
