Last night, while measuring star distances from my balcony, I saw an enormous strip of white light in the sky which surprised me a lot. This morning, specialists explained me that this was aurora borealis, and that they expect it this night again and the night tomorrow. I am at 40d 27.2' N, 86d55' W and the aurora was visible in roughly NS direction, for about an hour. Unfortunately I did not record the time but this was between 8 and 10 p.m. Alex.
