Aurora article

There is a article about aurora chasers on the ABC News site. Haven't read to the end yet but the human-interest part at the start makes good reading. Aurora chasing is a growing (glowing) hobby.

It's worth reading right through. They discuss what might realistically happen to the power grids in Australia if there was another Carrington-class event. It's not alarmist, but practical. Its well done, IMHO.

So you actually have to give each one a thumbs up??

This might actually be a reason to join Facebook ... ummm .... but it's a big step for a trogolite.
