Texas, that's impressive. Could it have been the radiation storm in -89 that knokced out communication satellites and power supplies?

Re: AURORA alert
About fifteen years ago, we had a really big solar outburst that generated auroras all the way down to Texas. Crazy but true. I remember seeing a bright magenta aurora over Beaumont, TX.

Re: AURORA alert
IMO, the best place to look for aurora forecasts for the Northern hemisphere is the webpage of University of Alaska at Fairbanks. http://www.pfrr.alaska.edu/~pfrr/aurora/INDEX.HTM If you click "custom maps" you get forecasts localised to 15 degrees longitude sectors.

OT: Sun Cycles (was Re: aurora alert)

As I recall, the "conventional wisdom" is that the cycle is 11 years long. We're approximately a year past the peak right now. There seems to be suspicion in parts of the astronomical community that eleven isn't quite right and the cycle is actually 22, 44, or 88 years long. I don't believe that we've been able to do accurate measurements for all that long, like maybe a bit over a hundred years, so we might not have tracked even one complete cycle, yet.

aurora alert
folks, According to SpaceWeather.com, a coronal mass ejection that happened on Valentine's Day is expected to reach the earth this saturday or sunday, possibly resulting in auroras. As far as I can tell, it seems like the current sun spot cycle is winding down, so this might be the last chance to get some photos for quite some time (the cycles are 14 years or so in length, aren't they)?
