The northern lights made its way to south Florida the local news is reporting. They posted a number of pictures of them seen here. I didn't see it, but I might try to stay and look for the lights tonight. It would be neat to see considering what I've been reading about of late.
Of late I've been reading about Kristian Birkeland, the scientists who correctly described what caused the northern and southern lights. In his day Birkeland was not believed and his theory was dismissed. Scientists back then believed there was nothing in empty space. It wasn't possible for energy to travel in space. It wasn't till the 1960s that Birkeland's theory was proven correct.
