In todays paper there was an article about how Alaska is probably going to lose our Aurora displays for about 50 years.
Apparently, the earth's core, mostly nickel and iron, shifts from time to time taking the magnetic poles with it. Science has figured out a way to track this shifting of the core but not how to predict it. Anyhoo...magnetic north has a major role in determining where the aurora can be seen.
Getting to see the northern lights is one the best things about living here.
50 years? How much is that going to suck? :BLEEP:
