Welcome

Welcome to the AuroraWatch UK blog!

The AuroraWatch UK team often have news or stories that we’d like to share with you, however, we’re always conscious of not clogging up your Facebook or Twitter feeds. So we thought we’d create this blog instead. On this blog, we’ll post things that we find interesting, whether this is information about the aurora, AuroraWatch UK itself, or other related news that the project team may have been involved with.

If this sounds like your sort of thing, then come back often or add us to your RSS feed.

You can always find the latest news by clicking on the “Latest News” button in the top menu. We also have a “Meet the Team” page where you can find out a little more about the people running AuroraWatch UK and links to some Frequently Asked Questions and to the main AuroraWatch UK website.

Rules of the road

Commenting
We allow our readers to post comments on our blog posts. This may change in the future, but we hope that we can keep them enabled and allow for an interesting and fruitful discussion. By commenting on our posts, you agree to the following:

  • Your comments shall not contain profanity or offensive remarks.
  • Your comments shall remain “on topic” and should relate only to the post on which the comment appears.
  • Advertisements (or “spam”), either directly or indirectly (e.g. via linking), are not permitted.

    • Your comments will be approved by a moderator before they appear on a blog post. The moderators have absolute discretion about what appears on this site. Comments deemed to not fit with the above criteria shall be deleted and no notice will be provided. Comments may also be deleted for any other reason as the moderator sees fit – in this case, we will always try to contact you and provide the reason why.
