Re: [Utah-astronomy] Aurora Visible?
I don't see reports of any activity south of the Arctic Circle. You may have to use all your diplamatic skills with your coworker, but I think she saw skyglow (city lights off of particles and droplets in the sky). It would be accentuated by the smog (ahem, haze) that's currently filling the valley.
Hmm. Joe says there was a mention on TV last night. I just checked a couple of aurora watch sites and didn't see anything current. Usually for an aurora to get this far south, there will be a widespread notice of a coronal mass ejection a few days in advance. Now you've got me wondering.

I wonder if it could have been a particularly strong airglow incident? The color would not have been red, but at low light levels the eye can respond unpredictably. --- Patrick Wiggins <paw@wirelessbeehive.com> wrote:
