spaceweb@oulu.fi - last update: 18 February 1997, 1100 UT (RR) . Black aurora is a lack of auroral emission in a small, well-defined region within an otherwise uniform, diffuse background or within auroras exhibiting a degree of shear behaviour intermediate between that of diffuse and discrete aurora (e.g., Davis, 1978). It appears to be a common feature of the midnight sector during late substorm recovery phase (Trondsen and Cogger, 1997). ... 30 , 371-380, 1978. ... 102 , 363-378, 1997. ...

Seven months ago, on Mar 19, 2008, at 09:12 Moscow time, a new star appeared on the sky. The Sun had already risen over the Russia, but people of the Western hemisphere might be able to see by their eyes a faint starlet near one of Bootes constellation stars. This starlet appeared and faded by an order of magnitude in a minute. Astronomers named it GRB080319B or, informally, the Naked-Eye Burst, as it was twice as bright as human eye can see a star. ...
