3. the Northern Lights are spectacular.

I've had the pleasure of seeing them while driving across the very northern tip of Alberta Canada. It's magical, very surreal .. breathtaking.

Thank so much for posting that site!

I wanna go to Hobart someday. Seeing the Southern Aurora would be a real kick!

You're most welcome for the site. They have an alert service you can sign up for. They will send emails when there are interesting things going on in the sky. It's really cool, especially if you have or work with kids.

7. Love those Hubble pics! Thanks for sharing the link

Got to see Orion Nebula with the BIG scope at the University of Arizona one evening.

Waiting for my hammock to dry so I can start sacking out in the back yard to watch the sky until I fall asleep. Am in the Big Sky country just south of Canada. Have slept outside in my parka and sleeping bag a time or twelve ;)
