[Chaos-l] Aurora Tonight?

[Michael Hrivnak]

Indeed, I got very excited by that news, because I am currently in Canada!  
But, I'll be in Montreal tonight, where I think the light pollution is 
probably far too bad for me to see anything, even if the clouds part.

By the way, anyone with an iphone should check out the free application "3D 
Sun", which among other things, will send you push notifications of major solar 
events like this one.
