Maybe the asteroid missed, but we just came in from watching the Northern Lights. Visible here in the Twin Cities, and clear skies. Very rare.

Wow! Thanks for sharing that. I saw the northern lights 30 years ago and it was impressive. Now I wish I had gone outside to see them two nights ago!

As spectacular as it was, we still didn't see much. We're in a first-ring suburb just to the west of Minneapolis. Not as much light pollution as some areas, but some. Neither of us felt up to driving north right then for a better view. Ah well.
I was alerted to this from watching the NOAA forecast at
https://services.swpc.noaa.gov/images/aurora-forecast-northern-hemisphere.jpg
. That's just an image file, but is updated every ten minutes or so. And then I waited until the daily aurora cam up in Yellowknife, Canada came on (

). That was truly magnificent.
