I have every intention of seeing it one day.
You and I are like-minded in this respect, it seems!
Very occasionally, in times of high solar activity, the aurora pays a visit to us folks in the UK, but I've never caught it (anyway weather in UK is so cr@p these days....).
The other thing on my mind is, of course, I'm still wondering whether I'll
ever get a total eclipse in. The number of opportunities open to me, in my remaining years, is dwindling fast ....
I passed up on the Turkey opportunity in 2006 (fully expecting it to be a wash-out; those who went had a splendid view). I passed up on Russia/China earlier this month (ditto; ditto). And of course 1999 was a total failure for us (as for many! We pitched up in France and saw nothing). Well, there's China next year. Maybe....
