Great Video Thank you for posting.
One in your list is a September fire.Randal Carlson did a few episodes on the coincidences of all these fires starting in Oct.
Because there are only 12 possibilities for a Month a fire could occur in, and when measured over the course of Centuary's, there's bound to have been many fires in any given Month.Of course if you go to wiki for the complete list of wildfires you see they start anytime of the year.
Also, October makes sense too, if for only that as temps cool off, more people are building fires to keep warm.Mostly in summer months which makes sense. The only rain we have had in almost 2 months is from Helene remnants.
Per my understanding, that's the reason for all those fires in 1871. It was super dry and windy.Walking around the property today, this place is a tinderbox.
Did you look up those fires? The one in NE Wisconsin was said to be started by sparks from a passing train.In regards to the 3 fires on the same date above, Oct 8th 1871. Have to wonder what really happened that day to spark those fires over such a large area.
Yellow dots have to abide by both.Interesting idea. What are you going to do about my yellow dot?
Yeah I figured that but I wouldn't be me if I didn't play along.Yellow dots have to abide by both.
....and somehow I posted that in the wrong thread. DoH!
SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH: NOAA forecasters say that severe (G4-class) geomagnetic storms are possible on Oct. 10th and 11th when a potent fast-moving CME is expected to hit our planet's magnetic field.
NOAA and NASA models agree that the CME will strike our planet late on Oct. 10th. The impact could spark up to 12 hours of severe storming with naked-eye auroras visible in many US states and European countries. NOAA's detailed forecast has the storm crossing the boundary from Oct. 10th to Oct. 11th, involving both calendar dates.
Thanks! I have to remind myself that seeing aurora like this is rare having seen 3 very nice displays this week.Wow, that looks really awesome! Very nice.
I wish I could see it lookin' like that sometime. It was supposedly visible here too, but only optically.
Nice. Glad you got to catch it.Last night's all sky camera aurora video
In Bortle 10 skies ya can.Very easy to see in the sky. Can't miss it.
That's tragic. Can you even see any stars?In Bortle 10 skies ya can.
Yes at sunset.Just need to look west for this?
Yea, some stars are visible. Just not very many.That's tragic. Can you even see any stars?
Moonlight and twilight kept my sky from being anywhere close to dark as normal and still the comet stood out like a sore thumb. Do you even see the blue glow of the sky in the West at 7:30 PM? Comet was brighter than that.
Bortle goes up to 9, at Bortle 9 Somewhere limiting magnitude is around 4. The comet is showing at 3 on heavens-above (which is brighter). However, there is daylight and moonlight which would make it even more difficult so you're probably right. Probably won't be able to see it from there but it might be worth trying with a pair of binoculars.Yea, some stars are visible. Just not very many.
Any idea what magnitude a comet would need to be, to be plainly visible in bortle 10 skies?
That's the comet I'm waiting on.
