Seems like a good place to drop a question for anyone that might know...
From time to time a strong solar event occurs and in the articles letting everyone know they will say something like “even people viewing from as far south as Britain will be able to see the Aurora.”
I live just under 45th parallel and see them on a rather frequent basis, why would it be unusual for the population of an island that lies between 49 and 59 to see them?
Im starting to think that I missed a detail related to those types of things back in school.
Then again, I was once told by someone at a planetarium in Chicago that certain constellations that I can see quite well from my place are too dim to be seen by the human eye. So is that statement in the articles just a statement by some English reporter that doesnt know better because he never leaves London?
