It turns out that there's enough solar activity to take a 2nd crack at the #Aurora tonight.
However, we're covered in clouds, and would have to drive 8hours - not counting stops - in order to get to a potentially cloud-free area that's at a higher latitude.
Unfortunately, I've been tired all day, desperately need a nap, and am the only one comfortable driving our ~12,000lb (5,400kg) 🚑 because it's effing wide & wifey hasn't practiced in it yet. But she's also pooped so. 🤷♀️
Seeing the eclipse tonight might be possible if we could cross the Canadian border but our passports are expired. We'll be sending them in for renewal next week though so, SOON we shall be able to revisit Canada. 🇨🇦
We rarely went there, but I did appreciate having it as an option.
I accidentally clicked the poll thing & can't make it go away. So, uh... do you have a valid passport?
@masukomi weirdly enough, going north for this one doesn't help because of how strong it is, the really bright belt of Aurora has been farther south, all you really need is a place that's dark enough to see the milky way
@pencilears Alas, our HOME is dark enough to see the milky way‡ it's just that EVERYWHERE around us is clouds. We'd have to go even farther if we went south. ;)
‡ moving from the big city to a place where we can see the stars almost every night is.... emotionally life-changing.
