Aurora viewing in "perhaps parts of Maine"? Maine's northern limit is ~47.5 degrees. Most of the US/Canada border is at 49 degrees, which is still too far south for good aurora views, but being in Seattle gets you closer to the pole than Maine.

: Auroras are centered on the Earth's geomagnetic poles, not the geographic poles.  The geomagnetic pole is currently on Ellesmere Island and is closer to Portland, ME than Seattle, WA.  The closest spot in the contiguous US to the geomagnetic north pole might be in northern Maine, Isle Royale, MI or the Northwest angle, depending on exactly which epoch is used for the location of the pole.[[Special:Contributions/162.158.62.159|162.158.62.159]] 00:22, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

Could Randal's mention of a supernova be interpreted to mean that our sun goes supernova and since that's the last thing he sees, he jsut closes off his bucket list? [[Special:Contributions/108.162.221.58|108.162.221.58]] 22:55, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
