No matter how long the slinky is, the bottom of the slinky will stay still (hover) until the top reaches it. Even if the slinky is over 1000 feet long.

@AuroraMAX Tweets Alerts To Aurora Borealis With Live Webcam!

AURORAMAX ALERT • An aurora is now visible above Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Check it out at tinyurl.com/2fswk7m

— AuroraMAX (@AuroraMAX) February 7, 2012

If you’re an avid sky gazer, curious on looker, or just typically like beautiful things then you will definitely want to follow this Twitter account! AuroraMAX sends out alerts giving notice for when aurora borealis is happening over Yellowknife in Canada. Along with the alert is a link to a live webcam so that you can see the wonder live.

AuroraMAX is a five-year educational and public outreach initiative that features live broadcast of the Northern Lights from Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The project is designed to raise awareness of the science of the Northern Lights, and how the Sun’s relationship with Earth can affect our daily lives.

AuroraMAX will allow skywatchers to follow the intensity and frequency of the aurora borealis leading up to Solar Maximum (hence the name AuroraMAX). Solar Maximum, the most active period of the Sun’s 11-year cycle (which consequently produces the most active auroras), is expected to peak in 2013.

Of course you don’t need to follow AuroraMAX on twitter to see the show, just visit the site, but at least you can get notices on when to watch!

Included are a few of the pictures that AuroraMAX also tweets out, but the real awesomeness is seeing it live on the webcam.
