Aurora
Seems like aurora displays have become a worldwide phenomenon now. It's reported that some auroras appeared in the night skies of Hokkaido as well. Wow, how I wish I were in one of those places to see one. I've never seen those dramatic luminous displays, though I hear auroras were sometimes seen on very cold days in my town long, long ago. I'm not a sky watcher, and, you know, I hate the cold in winter, but I'd like to see one, at least once in my life.

and all this time I thought I'd have to goto at least Alaska to see something like that. btw, Is 'Aurora' the same as 'Aurora Borealis'?

Well, I can confirm the beauty of the Aurora Borealis. It truly is a site to behold. It really blows my mind the shear beauty that our planet can create, and how often we over look it.

I don't think you have to go as far as Alaska to see auroras. They show up in northern Minnesota too.
