We are excited to share our new website with you!<\/p>\n
The Aurorasaurus team is a collection of scientists and educators who have developed this free nowcasting aurora notification service for use by the general public. We are studying aurora, human-computer interactions, and learning in informal settings. We thank you for participating and hope it helps you in your aurora hunting! Learn more about us\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n We wanted to give it a fun, creative name. We want to do things a bit differently to make space weather fun and interesting to you, the public. Rory is the name of our dinosaur mascot and you can expect to hear more from her soon!<\/p>\n Rory will let you know when you might be able to see the aurora. Unfortunately, it isn\u2019t possible to predict exactly when you might see an aurora until shortly before\u00a0it happens. This year is a time of increased likelihood because the\u00a0Sun is at its solar maximum.\u00a0 Stay tuned for more posts when activity picks up. We look forward to watching beautiful aurora with you in this,\u00a0the first solar maximum with social media!!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are excited to share our new website with you!
