Friend of mine recently saw NL for the first time on a vacation to Iceland. Having lived in AK for a number of years, I had tried to explain it to him. On his return, he was nevertheless astounded at the variety of colors and the way the light moved - not at all what he expected.
Sometimes, when you see a thing often, you come to take it for granted. I remember staring at it for hours till I damned near froze to death when we first moved up north. Near the end of our stay, I hardly noticed. Often I've wished that I could see it again.

I lay on my back not far from the fire, watching the Northern Lights and listening to a hammered dulcimer being played right next to me.Well there you are, Connie, you learn something new every day, don't you? I'd love to see a hammered dulcimer. What do they drink, alcohol-based wood polish? Do they play in tune once they're hammered? Could you arrange this as a poster exhibition at WP?

I would argue that once the dulcimer is hammered, it would be easier to deal a play. "Hey baby, what key are you in? Can I buy you another varnish?"

I'd love to see a hammered dulcimer. Ohhhh, CK, that instrument has the most beautiful sound! Just...the feeling it gives is just indescribable! Pretty! PLEASING! Happy even when sad. Dancing! Delicate! Yippee!

Isn't the Southern Cross a part of this phenomena in the Southern hemisphere?

The Southern Cross is just another constellation, so I doubt it. I can't see how a few stars of varying billions of light-years away can have any effect on electronic particles hitting the atmosphere.

Yup, Jazzo...I should know the Southern Cross is a constellation. Don't know why I connected it with the aurora.
And, by the way, Southern Cross isn't a bad Crosby, Stills & Nash tune, either.
