"Lower 48" sightings of auroras are a sign: The deep solar minimum of 2008-2009 has come to an end and a new solar cycle is gaining strength.

Expect dim year for aurora

FAIRBANKS - Aurora watchers likely will be disappointed in 2010.

The Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks predicts that this year's aurora activity will be minimal, and much the same as it has been for more than a year.

Aurora forecaster Charles Deehr said this is the least-active period ever experienced. The decrease in activity is attributed to slow sunspot activity. http://www.juneauempire.com/stories/...42689575.shtml
