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.

Dust storms on Mars

Dust is a critical component in the Martian atmosphere. It influences the atmosphere's circulation by heating or cooling it and is in turn redistributed around the planet by atmospheric winds. In this dust cycle, dust storms play a particularly important role. Storms are traditionally classified into local, regional and planet-encircling dust storms, with small, local storms occurring throughout the year but global storms being most active during the northern fall and winter seasons. A dust storm that spreads over a large enough region and that lasts long enough can significantly affect the visibility, thermal structure and atmospheric circulation. Such major dust storms often result from dust storm sequences that follow specific trajectories and display coherent development histories.
