A Shornaby Cast Episode 459, Aresibo

Welcome to a Shornaby Cast, a weekly fax based journey through the Cosmos where we help

you understand not only what we know but how we know what we know.

My name is Fraser Kane, I'm the publisher of the University and with me is Dr. Pamela

Gay, the Director of Technology and Citizen Science, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific

and the Director of CosmoQuest.

Hey, Pamela, how's it going?

It's going well, how's it going with you, Fraser?

It's going great.

I had what had to be my greatest Aurora experience of my life.

I posted my video to the Twitters and the Instagrams.

You say I should send it to A-Pod, I'll send it to A-Pod, obviously, if they take it.

But unbelievable, my phone bleeped at me, told me there was a big Geomagnetic Storm overhead.

I went out to this cool beach that we have that has a nice north view and saw the most

insane Aurora activity I have ever seen.

It was ribbons, it was different colors, it was purples and yellows and greens.

I really, really, I can't, I'm at a loss for words.

Anyway, so check my Twitter feed, you should see the video.

But if you have never seen this, get like a phone or get a service, I know you use Twitter

and let yourself know that this is happening and then go out and see if you can see an

Aurora.

It really is worth it.
