> Many people think you can only see auroras from far-north places like
> Alaska and Canada. Not so. Photographer Chris Schur catches them
> surprisingly often from Arizona--including some this week. Visit
> spaceweather.com for pictures of Arizona auroras and observing tips
> for
> mid-latitude aurora watchers.
> 
> As a result of ongoing solar activity, auroras are possible tonight in
> the
> United States, Canada, southern Australia, New Zealand, and much of
> Europe. In the U.S.A. northern border states such as Maine, Michigan,
> and
> Washington are favored--and, of course, Alaska. Sky watchers are
> advised
> to get away from city lights, if possible, and pay extra attention to
> their sky around local midnight, when auroras are most likely to
> appear.
