Guess I don't have to tell ya that you need to be facing north to see them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Handlebarz Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 not sure if we can even see them from the deep south but when I lived in Sudbury they were amazing to see nothing better then being up at camp with no hydro or lights around and watching them dance hope everyone who can get out and watch them takes advantage of the night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lew Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 It's very dark here at night and last night cleared up beautifully with even the stars shining but the Northern Lights failed to show up. Hopefully tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRIFTER_016 Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Didn't see a thing up here in Yellowknife. Of course it's still too light all the time for such things. A few more weeks and it will actually get dark. Then we will have plenty of dark for months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC1 Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Did anyone see them tonight? I was in the Peterborough Area and looked all over, but the northern lights were no where to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lew Posted August 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Nothing last night either but when I was out on the back deck at 4:30 this morning a large bright meteor shot across the sky directly overhead. Not exactly the Northern Lights but still a heck of a nice way to start the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Nothing last night either but when I was out on the back deck at 4:30 this morning a large bright meteor shot across the sky directly overhead.

Not exactly the Northern Lights but still a heck of a nice way to start the day. Probably an early Perseid meteor Lew the Perseid meteor shower peaks in a week or so check out this site for up to date info if you are interested Spaceweather Info enjoy Kawartha Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
