No Faerie lights for Dio

I did go to look,,,,

Was about 10:30ish or so,,,, Last light was 9:01 last eve, full dark by 9:45 usual,,, the only thing I saw last night was the night sky seemed much brighter than usual, washing out many of the lesser magnitude stars,

But no Auroras for me,,,, Guess I’m situated a few degrees lower than they were visible. OR my timing was off and I gave up before the peak of the solar storm, OR something,,, but no I see ’em,,,, (and I do know they were visible in parts of KY, just not sure how far down as the poster of the pics did not list a location.)

It was most definitely not due to moonlight. Luna is on a waxing crescent stage, early on, as new moon was just two days ago.

Oh well.

I ain’t ded yet, so the chance of getting to see them at some point is still there. And maybe one day, I will take that dream trip and go kayaking in the great white north somewhere and paddle under them, (and immediately get Squitched by a calving glacier or something,,,LOL ‘he died while kayaking, watching auroras and seeing the glaciers,,,, he died happy,,,’)

Anywhooos,,, its a bucket list thing, low priority sort,,, there are other things on that list that I would like to see, much more intently. Things that don’t come and go by the whims of SOL and chance of Terra being in the right location.

WINGS OF CHANGE

What happens when a wounded veteran, a computer genius, and a handful of fiercely independent misfits decide that the best way to change the world is to stop waiting for someone else to do it?

G has spent years flying from a wheelchair, learning to make the sky obey him even when his body won’t. T is a computer wizard with a mysterious past, an enormous extended family, and a talent for turning impossible ideas into working machines.

Together, they build things that shouldn’t exist.

Aircraft that push the limits of what remote flight can do. Technology born in garages and workshops instead of corporate boardrooms. And a community of people who have decided that family isn’t necessarily something you’re born into.

But building extraordinary machines attracts attention.

Soon G, T, and their growing family find themselves caught between government agencies, competing agendas, and people who would very much like to know exactly what they’re capable of. What began as tinkering and experimentation is becoming something far more consequential.

Because when you build something powerful enough to change the rules, eventually somebody comes looking for the keys.
