What does it mean when people say "L1 or Bust"? How do you know when an impact from the sun hits the Earth, and where can you get these alerts? What should you look for and when should you chase the Northern Lights? Or when is it better to stay home?

Join me for a workshop explaining this key concept in Aurora Chasing of "L1 or Bust!" You'll learn about L1, what it is and why it matters, where you can find the information you want, and what to look for. We will run several scenarios to see why the Aurora Forecasts often seem like they are wrong, and you'll get an understanding of how to use these forecasts to help you see the Northern Lights on the exact night they appear. You’ll also get tools and techniques for predicting the next Aurora!

  • Decode "L1 or Bust!"
  • Tap into the alerts and information you need to know when an impact has hit Earth
  • Get an explanation for beginners of satellites in outer space and the way they help us predict space weather and Aurora
  • Find out why the Aurora Forecasts often seem wrong, and how to add context to these forecasts to help you pinpoint when the Aurora is most likely to appear
  • Get early notice of upcoming opportunities to be featured or published!
  • Includes a free download!

 

Meeting ID & Passcode will be sent via email after you register.
