    Did anyone notice the colour of the sky last night?

    There was a large part that was a greenish colour in one area and then its usual black colour everywhere else.......it was so unusual!no one believed me so I had to take a picture:D

    Does anyone know if it was green lights for Aurthers Day or something else??

    I'd like to say that was a pic over Dublin but alas it's not :) It is from the night before last though, or early morning even, from Canada.

    hi sorry for late reply

    there was cloud coverage on thursday night so it was more like a glow in the clouds so it wasnt as defined as those lights in the picture . im trying to upload it at the moment.....

    thats what i thought it could be but i didnt think u could see those lights from ireland??and i know its just a co-incidance but i only live about 5 km from lucan golf course:)

    i noticed it was there for about a half an hour and then it started raining really heavey and it was gone :confused:

    You can, just not all the time, it's a somewhat rare occurrence and I've never seen them here being as clear and well defined, or as fantastic as what you might experiences of same in more Northern latitudes.

    Keep an eye on http://spaceweather.com/
