Well, I say closer to LA, but I can get away from the lights. I mean, this is SOCAL, I can wander away from the city and get lost in a desert or the mountains...I just don't know how i'd see the aurora borealis once I got there....

it would be relatively rare to see the aurora at that latitude (what is LA about 32-34 degrees North?) but once the sun starts up its active cycle the opportunity increases. you'd have to get to a dark site and look north - that's about it!

if you are really keen on seeing it - maybe try looking for a local amateur astronomers association and ask them about it - i'm sure you get plenty of information (and more besides).

Yeah, I think it might have been my latitude...but when I was at the website, it said that you had to be at a certain number of something to be able to see it, and when I looked up LA the number it gave was like JUST short of the number you had to be at to see it. I was bummed...

But that's a good idea, I think I'll try finding a group around me. I really do want to see it...reminds me, there's something else I really want to see

DOES ANYONE HERE KNOW ABOUT GLOWING PLANKTON?

omg, I gotta hit up Seamaiden, maybe she'll know...but anyways, glowing plankton, on the west coast, it's only around at certain times of the year...but I don't know when. I saw it once, but I can't remember for the life of me what time of year that was....

I am familiar with bioluminescence but do not know under what circumstances and where you can see the glowing plankton.

Well, I saw them at Manhatten Beach one night, I just can't figure out what time of year it was. I'll figure it out, just thought I'd ask in case anyone knew off hand. It's really awesome. As the waves crash, they light up....Every step you take in the wet sand lights up for just a second.

One is white,made out of plastic & dangerous for children to play with,the other you carry your groceries in.
