Hi! Ed,

 EV> Hmmm, somebody thought to put that old recording in a .MP3 file, Hmmm.

Well, it _was_ a video on EwwToob.  I couldn't just leave it there.  ;)

 EV> Roger knows a lot.  (buttering up Roger)

Sometimes it's just too hard to say "no" to him...

 EV> It is rare when an Aurora can be seen where I live on 38N Degree Lat.
 EV> Spaceweather's web site iirc has photos of Auroras.
 EV> They are real pretty.

I have several snapshots taken from a location in Lapland, IIRC.  There is one
video sequence from the International Space Station that specifically targets
auroras seen from 220 miles up, on EwwToob.  Very nice indeed.  I sometimes
use it as a sort of screensaver, playing it from a USB stick.

 EV> Do You see them in the Summer when it's warmer to be outside to view
 EV> them?

Nope.  Not at all.  We're closer to the equator here.  Too close.  Our mates
in New Zealand get to see them sometimes, as they're closer to Antartica.

Cheers,
Paul.
