If you missed it and want to know more then there are some places where you can get reliable information: 1. Aurora Forecast Websites: Websites like the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), Aurora Service, and the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute provide forecasts and updates on Aurora Borealis activity and visibility in different regions. 2. Mobile Apps: There are several mobile apps available for both iOS and Android devices that offer real-time updates, notifications, and forecasts for the Northern Lights. Examples include My Aurora Forecast & Alerts, Aurora Alerts, and Aurora Watch. 3. Social Media: Platforms like Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook have dedicated Aurora Borealis enthusiast groups, pages, and accounts that share updates, photos, and sightings. Following these accounts can keep you informed about recent Northern Lights activity. 4. Astronomy

How hot are atoms in the shock wave of an exploding star?

A new method to measure the temperature of atoms during the explosive death of a star will help scientists understand the shock wave that occurs as a result of this supernova explosion. An international team of researchers, including a Penn State scientist, combined observations of a nearby supernova remnant—the structure remaining after a star's explosion—with simulations in order to measure the temperature of slow-moving gas atoms surrounding the star as they are heated by the material propelled outward by the blast.
