I observed the Aurora in Macon GA. Im not sure of the date, but it was between the years 1937 and 1945. Sorry I cant give you an exact date. Maybe the Macon Telegraph & News has something in their archives. If not, try the Atlanta Journal-Constitution archives. There was a lot of WWII news in those days.
What else can I help you with?
When can you find the next aurora borealis in WI for free?
They are normally only visible inthe sub-arctic and arctic regions. There is much mystery as to what causes them. Somewhat oddly they do not normally interfere with radio traffic but did cause some tuning problems ( which were compensated for by switching in resistances and compensations) in transatlantic telegraph message cables such as those at the French Cable station. The route of the cables was not in arctic waters. still things happen, the world turns. At one time in the late thrities the Aurora Borealis was visible in the New York Metro area- and the weather was cooperative an aunt of mine saw it. she said it looked like a barrage of distant strobe lights vaguely reddish on a movie screen or curtain. For some reason the phenomenon did not photograph. interesting question. the scientific name literally means Northern Dawn, as Aurora was the goddess of the Dawn.
What cause solar wind on earth?
Charged particles emitted continuously by the sun are known as the Solar Wind. It is mostly deflected by the Earth's magnetic field, but can be 'witnessed' around the poles when it interacts with the atmosphere and causes the Aurora - called the Aurora Borealis in the north and the Aurora Australis in the south - which shows up as an apparently moving 'curtain' of coloured light.
Which Continent that has a rain forest is furthest away from the equator?
Australia is the continent with a rainforest that is furthest away from the equator. The Daintree Rainforest in Queensland, Australia, is located near the northeastern coast of the continent, far south of the equator.
Does a freely suspended magnet always point in the north south direction?
Yes. A freely suspended magnet always point in the north south direction.
Why did iron ore tend to align itself in a North South position?
Iron ore tends to align itself in a North-South position due to the Earth's magnetic field. The magnetic minerals in iron ore are influenced by the Earth's magnetic field, causing them to align themselves in a North-South direction as the ore solidifies. This alignment can be observed in rocks that were formed during periods when the Earth's magnetic field was in a specific orientation.
Does the Aurora Borealis form at the South Pole?
No.Aurora at the South Pole are called aurora austalis, and are caused by the same solar magnetic phenomenon that creates aurora borealis.
Is there an Aurora Borealis at the South Pole?
yes, it is called the aurora australius.
What is the light at the North or South pole?
In the north, you can see aurora borealis and in the south you can see aurora australis.
Common name for Aurora borealis?
The Northern Lights. Borealis is "north" and aurora is similar to "lights" so "northern lights". There is such thing as Aurora Australis that occurs in the south.
Does aurora borealis influence compass needles?
Scientists observed disruption of a the magnetic needle of a compass by the electromagnetic interference by Aurora Borealis which reflected perfect direction that coincided with the view of the phenomena. It was concluded this would only happen if electric currents were setting from south to north in the earth under the needle, or from north to south in space above it.
What is the difference between a Aurora borealis and a Aurora australis?
The Aurora Borealis is in the northen hemisphere at the north pole. However the Aurora Australis is in the southern hemisphere at the south pole. That is the only difference in them; they are both formed in the same way. They are both polar lights. One is the Aurora Borealis, the northern lights and the Aurora Australis, the southern lights. They are on the different poles on the earth, other than that, they are the same. Borealis is near the North Pole. Australis is near the South pole. The Aurora Borealis is at the north magnetic pole: the Aurora Australis is at the south magnetic pole. That's the only difference. They are both really the same thing but are visible from different places in the world. The aurora borealis can be seen in Northern England and in Scotland sometime, normally in summer and spring. The aurora austalis can be seen from places like Australia and New Zealand. Another difference is that the aurora borealis are brighter that the aurora austalis
What time can you see the aurora borealis from Seattle WA?
The aurora borealis is typically not visible from Seattle, Washington, as it is too far south. To see the aurora borealis, you would need to travel to locations closer to the magnetic poles, such as Alaska or northern Canada.
What are electrical lights around the north and south poles?
aurora borealis
Is the aurora borealis visible from Scotland?
Yes. The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, can be seen from many parts of the northern hemisphere, including further south than Scotland.
Can you see the Aurora Borealis from Argentina or Borneo?
You may be able to see Aurora Australis from Southern Argentina, but probably not from Borneo.You would not be able to see Aurora Borealis from either geography.
What is the proper name for the spectacular lights seen near the south pole?
Aurora Borealis
Scientific name for the twinkling of the stars?
Aurora Borealis is the real name for the Northern Lights. It is a natural light display in the sky in high latitude regions.
