Aurora borealis way down south

 Tonight we went to the Danehill Club for the Open Mic night, and it was pretty fun.  We had heard that there was a big magnetic solar storm going on right now and that we might be able to see it from our latitude at 52 degrees North.  But we didn't expect to actually see anything!  I was brushing my teeth around 11:30 pm and looking out the window (which faces north), and I noticed that part of the sky was slightly red and another part of the sky was slightly green, so we jumped into the car and drove up to the Mile Straight so we could have a good view of the sky.



Eventually we headed back home so that we could go to bed, but it was pretty exciting! Loads of our neighbors were out and about enjoying the aurora as well.
