Living in San Francisco one learns to not get too excited about our planet’s celestial shows. In the summer and winter it is often overcast so the Leonid and Perseid meteor showers are almost never visible.

So watching the live Northern Lights webcam from Churchill, Manitoba (where tonight it’s -18ºF/-28ºC) is a great way to enjoy the show.

I’ve posted links to Explore.org on here before. Their Bear Cam which shows Alaskan brown bears catching and eating salmon is wonderful to watch.
