    I am living in Edmonton Alberta, so should have clear skies just have lots of light pollution :(

    Find a dark spot in the shadow of a building with a view of the skies and even in a "light polluted area" you'd be surprised at what you can see. Hope you get some clear skies. I have a memory of seeing the Perseids in Connemara in my teens with crystal clear dark skies. It was an amazing sight to witness.

    Large sunspot group appearing on the eastern limb of the sun. Fingers crossed for some good flares and aurorae in the near future.

    About one month ago a solar flare hit earth not a direct hit but a side swipe. fox2now.com/news/solar-storm-to-hit-earth-later-this-week-auroras-expected/

    I have been reading recently about space weather and cosmic rays effect on earth during solar minimum and how the sun protects earth in general from cosmic rays when active. Very interesting stuff btw.

    Anyway at the time of this solar flare I got thinking about what kind of effect this energy has on earth. I started to think of it as kinda like a microwave heating earth from the inside. One month on and we now have active volcanos and afew earth quakes. Is it possible that they are linked to an engery input such as a solar flare?

    This seem logical to me as a layman as energy can't be created non destroyed but converted to a different state such as kentic or heat energy
