    Cool. It's a clear sky (altough last night it snowed) and I'm going to spend the next night driving home. So I might spot something, atleast I hope so.

    Well, these are caused by sunspots, so if you want to see something neat, but you don't live in an area with many aruras, you can try this: [url=http://www.spaceweather.com/sunspots/doityourself.html]Sunspot Watching[/url]. I just tried it myself, and it looks pretty neat. Big-ass sunspot right near the middle.

    I dont think a Solar flare would cause any destrution, But it could cause alot of disruption, like in communcation, cell phones, and even power outages:D
