Tonight's Aurora Forecast has the 'Horizon View Line' down to around 35°N across much of the CONUS. Weather/cloud permitting, many people in the US will have the opportunity to see the auroras tonight!

FITZJAMES HAS BEEN FOUND! 😭He was one of the first to die after they abandoned the ships. My boy didn't have to suffer for long. I'm so grateful that he has been identified. Crying and in shock too. I helped find you, my dear Fitzjames. 😭❤️

So thrilled that our MA student, who spent several years researching a biography of Capt James Fitzjames, is key to this remarkable discovery. Her research connected the Canadian scholars with Fitzjames' descendant. Congratulations, Fabienne! 'Finding Fitzjames', indeed!
