Has anybody ever gone to see the Northen Lights??

Question

Has anybody ever gone to see the Northen Lights? What was your experiences, what happened there and was it your dreams come true?

I really want to go and see the Northen Lights and i was jus wonderin what peoples experiences were like.

Answer 1

Tonight would be the night. And maybe a couple of nights after. There has been a very large solar flare which causes the northern lights. I read an article earlier today saying that you might be able to see them as far south as Maine. I have seen them a great number of times, but the best I ever saw was in February, 1988. They were wild and full of colours. It was better than anything man has ever produced.

Answer 2

Usual sight around up here. The most memorable Northern light experience for me was when i was out blasting with my bike and my then girl-friend wife and i was doing some 150 down the highway at a starry night and bang, all northern sky lit up and the tarmac whizzed away under the roaring tires. I was like, man this can´t get any better. So it happened that time proved me wrong later in a more peaceful way, but I can still remember that feeling like i was living it now. I felt like immortal for a while.

Answer 3

I went on a £120 per head plane trip. In spite of my jokes that the resident astronomer would be Patrick Moore it turned out to be Chris Lintot who has proven to be not such a bad second on "The Sky at Night". I saw a green glow , and for a few minutes observed a shimmer. Our trip was about four hours from the north of England. I'm pleased that I went, but the advertising pictures are far more colourful than what was seen on our trip. Chris Lintot did point out that the eye does not perceive the images in the same colourful way as a camera lens. Still, I would like to see them from the ground in a more northern country. Yet I've been told that occasionally the ground view from the north of England can be more colourful than what was seen on my trip. That was long-winded. In answer to your question - I saw green.

Answer 4

What do you mean GO to see the Northern Lights. All you have to do is visit Northern Scotland ( mostly North of Aberdeen) at the right time and BINGO!! I've seen them many a time and they look very beautiful. They do look more spectacular and clearer further north of course. North of Arctic Circle in Norway would be best but as I say timing is everything. Just pick a spot in a remote area of Scotland and stay for a month.

Answer 5

I live in north east Scotland and have only ever been lucky enough to see them once, in 1996. Was one friday night about 10pm, i looked up into the sky and saw purple and blue flashing lights and things like meteors. Sky was bright pink and heard a whistling/screaming noise - scary at the time! Was a great sight to see though, but didn't last for long.

Answer 6

Nope. Going to court docket fee a minimum of $80 in court docket costs. gas to the courthouse, $15. Parking, $5 a minimum of, if no more advantageous. in case you 'gained the case', you paid the $20 filing fee. The nice replaced into $108. i ought to spend more advantageous battling the fee than paying. besides, you get screwed with techniques from those fraudulent tickets.

Answer 7

I've seen northen lights before they are a spectacular sight.

Answer 8

A few years back I remember seeing them in Western New York. It was beautiful. Any chance you get, go for it. The further away from civilization you can get, the better.
