This is for American people. There has been some kick ass northern lights in Northern Europe, US and Canada for the last 3 days. The geomagnetic radiation map is showing some major activity in the northern parts of the American continent right now. We had a cool display last night in Southern Finland also.

Here's the on-line situation of geomagnetic storms:

Now haul your lazy ass outside and see if there's any. Also check www.spaceweather.com for some kick ass pics of the northern lights.

Northern lights: aurora borealis
Southern lights: aurora australis

And southern lights shows only in Antarctica, South Africa, Australia, South America, hence the name southern lights. So any shit you'll see on the northern part of the globe is called the northern lights and vice versa.
