The indicators were out that December 1 could bring a spectacular display of Northern lights as a big CME struck Earth's magnetic field, sparking a strong G3-class geomagnetic storm igniting auroras in both hemispheres. We got all excited as it was a clear night -- finally a chance to see the aurora borealis. We walked up to the shed and then drove in the RTV up the hill. The ground was dry enough.
When we got to the top, there was nothing to see but the gorgeous moon, like a spotlight on Clew Bay. What a beautiful place to be on top of the world.
But no aurora in the northern sky.
