Sky watchers in Wisconsin and Michigan report seeing auroras last night. The solar wind continues to blow and more geomagnetic storms are possible tonight. I didn't see them last night. I got interested in an old Sherlock Holmes movie and forgot all about looking for the Space Station. If I had remembered, I probably would have seen the northern lights too.

Start looking tonight at 8:00 in the southwest sky for the International Space Station (8:08) and the Jules Verne (8:10). Then turn around to face north and maybe you'll see auroas!
