SpaceWeather
This site provides information about solar activity and the likelihood of aurorae.  (Many of the photos on my site were found in the Aurora Galleries on SpaceWeather.com.)

Auroral Activity Report
This is a really useful site that updates every 10 minutes. It shows current positions of the polar auroral ovals and an image showing the estimated visibility of auroral activity in the northern hemisphere. Click on the image at the bottom of the page and see reports of aurora sightings (if there have been any recently).

NOAA POES Auroral Activity
This site is similar to to the one above. It also has animations of the auroral ovals.

Aurora WebCam
Webcam atop Mt. Aurora in Fairbanks, AK.

Asahi Aurora Classroom
The Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, is a leader in auroral research. This is an informative intro site with a little bit of everything.

Nordlys
A site from Norway (in english) with a great slideshow of almost 2,000 photos of the aurora. There is also plenty of information.

Stephen P. McGreevy's ground-based ELF-VLF recordings
The aurora also produces radio waves (ELF - extremely low frequency; VLF - very low frequency).

SOHO
The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory is a satellite that is gathering information about the sun. You can view really excellent, current images of the sun in various wavelengths on this site.

ISS: Where is it now? You can actually see the International Space Station orbiting Earth. Find out when it will be passing over your location.

Infrasonic Music Experiment
An experiment which laced music with inaudible infrasound & how listeners responded physically and/or emotionally.
