Maren and I went skiing after work again last night and the Northern Lights were out. It was a really beautiful night, we came to a clearing and we could see them dancing over the Mendenhall Glacier. There was a beautiful photo of them in today's Juneau Empire, as well as this one though the lights we saw last night weren't quite as impressive.

Gorgeous! Lucky you! I've wanted to see these since I was a wee thing. Maybe someday, before I die...

Absolutely fantastic. We get the Northern Lights in Scotland too but I've never seen them either. Would dearly love to. Maybe a trip to Alaska would guarantee it - they're difficult to see here.

Hi Holly, if you *ever* want to come to Alaska before you die, just let me know! That goes for you too RR! As for seeing the Northern Lights, coming here is no guarantee...I mean, we have a lot of overcast days and also, they aren't out all the time, though you can find out forecasts for when they are likely to be out.
They really are an amazing site to see in person.
And not sure what you're talking about pereiradasilva (probably spam but) thanks!
And Hi Judy! Have the lights been out much up your way?

All I can say about the northern lights is WOW. I've never seen them myself and I am really wondering if they exist. They are so great that maybe you are all lying!! :D

They are real Kasia, and very magical. Hopefully you'll be able to see them in person one day!
:P

Hi Greg!
Hey, did you see that Nova special on the possibility of the magnetic poles switching sides?
