I've seen tons of shooting stars but never the Northern Lights. I remember one August when I was young, the Perseid Meteor shower was hitting and all the neighbor kids sat in our driveway to watch. My mom made a ton of popcorn for everyone and we laid there for hours, counting them all. There were hundreds

Get a ton of shooting stars. I think we've seen the very edges of Northern lights too once

 

[igorsMistress]

Lots of shooting stars, no auroras. I would like to though!

Lots of stars, Northern Lights when we lived in Maine.

 

[The Welch Chickens]

I've seen a meteor shower, but never the northern lights. I'd love to someday, though!

Both. Growing up in Fairbanks Alaska was tough but I saw Aurora Borealis every winter. Unfortunately, it's hard for lower 48 people to plan a trip to see it since it's not highly predictable. That's why people from around the world go to UAF to study Geophysics. I know that it has a lot to do with pretty cold temps too. In College, we'd bundle up and sit in lawn chairs on top of our dorm building to watch it in Feb. in temps like -30.

When I was a kid in Indiana we would sleep out under the stars and count the shooting stars. That was a few years ago! Haven't seen many as an adult. The Aurora Borealis is on my bucket list too.

My sister owns a cabin in the UP and she saw the Northern Lights a few months ago. Got some good pictures too. I'm still jealous

During the summer months we'd set up tables in the yard at night, and eat, have fun, and talk under the starlit sky and the tall trees. I've seen loads of shooting stars, but not an aurora borealis

I cant even see infront of me so all that is out the window for me
