I live in downtown Chicago, so the light pollution here is pretty bad. Most clear nights we're lucky to see any stars at all. Sunday night when my wife and I went to bed, I looked out our window and saw a green glow between the buildings. I immediately recognized what it was. I told my wife to get dressed cause we were going out on the balcony to watch. It was cold, they were faint, my wife has lousy eyesight and couldn't see them. As faint as they were, I stood and watched for half an hour.
All I could really see was a green shimmering glow between the buildings. It was more eerie than beautiful, but awesome nonetheless.
I want to see them from Alaska some day.
