Northern Lights

I did some discovery today with this fabulous website http://www.asc-csa.gc.ca/eng/astronomy/auroramax/default.asp which shows in real time northern lights. A little sad about this awesome idea is . . . The weather ! Of course, if the weather isn't great you can't see them, but hey Canada isn't THAT awesome enough to make the bad weather go away, so deal with it ! Also, it get's online at about 9 p.m (at Yellowknife which has a -1 hour difference with Quebec) So depending where you live, it might be a good idea to conciderate the time difference. The other thing sad about it is the small camera. Anyhow, I am watching it right now . . . And it's cloudy in Yellowknife, that all I can say ! But i'll check it out some other days because seriously ! SERIOUSLY ! Northern lights are awesome, I had the chance to see them once in my life outside of my home ( which isn't that common ) and it was fabulous. Yellowknife has them about everynights except during summer due to the night sun and with only this I think it's worth to visit them even tho it's quite far away . . .

Good night ! Tomorrow morning I have a class on Cognitive problems (Alias : the Brain class, because I seriously can't remember most of the time the name of this class. . .)

I leave you with this. . . aaaawww so cute :)

Update day 1 : The camera isn't playing, but I think it is because of a snow fall in Yellowknife. . .                
Update day 2 : The sky is still covered, so no Northern Lights it says on friday there should be a few clouds so maybe I will get more chances. I won't give up ! 
Update day 3 : Yeh the sky is clear ! :D but we are near the full moon so it's quite lighten up but I might see some anyway :) -> didn't see any :(
Update day 4 : Cloudy again (and I bet you are wondering how much days i'll keep it up)
Udate day 5 : Cloudy and dark, the moon is lightening up alot less, which is good
Update day 6 : Cloudy and dark again, sooo dark that it looks has if it was the end of the world over there D:
Update day 7 : Tonight's the night ! I finaly have some northern lights LIVE NOW ! There are there, but I know they can be more beautiful then right now so i'll stay tuned  8)
