"Aurora Borealis Cover Story"

 

Quote

I was really hoping to see me some aurora borealis last night but it was either too overcast and rainy or we didn’t get any here in Fredericksburg, Virginia. I’m calling the mayor!

Aurora borealis usually only occurs in locations closer to the North Pole like northern Canada, Alaska, Greenland, Iceland, Scandinavia, and Russia. Because of a solar storm caused by a cluster of sunspots, dark and cool regions on the solar surface that are flaring and ejecting material every six to 12 hours, the northern lights went south last night, even as far south as Alabama.

The northern lights from the solar storm were seen in Germany, Denmark, Slovakia, Hungary, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States, and even New Zealand. It’s even hitting yee-haw states.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center issued a rare warning about the solar outburst because it could disrupt communications and even power grids.

The show is expected to continue through the weekend, so maybe I’ll get another chance to see them. It’s not fair that my son can see them in Mississippi and I can’t see them here.

I posted this joke on social media last night and then realized it could also be a cartoon. Sometimes when I make a joke on social media instead of using it as a cartoon, another cartoonist will steal it. I even had one cartoonist admit it in the past, who was too stupid to realize he was confessing his plagiarism (Ed cough Hall). He never sent me a check.

I have to give a thank you to my baby sister, Sarah. She lives in Indiana and is an amazing photographer. She sent me 14 photos of the lights from the solar storm and I used them as my reference for this cartoon.
