Okay, so here's your chance to see a natural wonder of your own...
From midnight tonight (GMT) there is a HIGH possibility of being able to see the Northern Lights, due to sunstorms, for the next 48 hours!
So, here's hoping for some clear skies and some pretty colours...
I know it's something I'd like to see before I die...
Take a look at the link for more information...

I sure hope you get to see it. I saw them a couple years ago when we visited Iceland. It truly is a spectacular sight!!

So, I read in the news the other day that the earth was undergoing a geomagnetic storm caused by two strong solar flares and particle blasts that erupted from the Sun.
Now, while the media was all full of doom and gloom about how it could potentially cause disruption of GPS satellites, high frequency radio communications and power grid overloads and that sort of thing, one of the good things was that we might be able to see the Northern lights: (Wiki link to explain the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis))...
I spent a few hours, with my youngest, last night, driving around trying to find somewhere with not too much light pollution, so that I could show her, what I consider, to be one of the wonders of the world, and something that is on my bucket list.
We never saw them (although she claimed that she did) but we did have a good sing song in the car, so it was all good fun.
It got me thinking about really cool things that I have seen, natural things that made me stare open-mouthed at their beauty and I thought it might be nice to share some of our experiences here...
Here are a couple of mine.... (please add your own - tell us what happened, add pics or links if you can, if you have them...)
A halo around the moon
Noctilucent clouds - I've been lucky to see these on a few occasions...
Shooting Stars - I love these!!
So, what have YOU seen? What sticks in your mind?
Let's hear all about it!
