I'm no physics expert so I was wondering if anyone could clear this up for me... Is the aurora borealis realistically visible from Montana? Because I was under the impression it was not. At least certainly not anywhere near the degree it's visible in FC:ND.
And if I'm right then why would a nuke suddenly make it so visible? I don't get it.
But like I said, I'm no physics professor, so maybe someone can explain?
First of all, you have got to know what causes an aurora. They are caused by radiation storms on the sun. Depending on how much radiation there is in these storms which can vary depends on how bright they are and how far that they spread north or south depending on which hemisphere you live. What causes the glow is the radiation from the sun hitting the earth magnetic belts which exit the earth at both north and south poles. These magnetic belts protect us from most of the suns radiation. The only thing in New Dawn is that they are visible in the day time which is wrong. The darker the sky the brighter they are.
There are hints that the Earth's magnetic field has been "damaged" by the nukes.
If you've met Bean, you can see he has a compass around his neck, but it's constantly spinning, not being able to find North.
So, maybe, because of these magnetic field irregularities, Montana is now more prone to having the AB.

Senja is close to the arctic So it's totally irrelevant. Montana is MUCH further away than Norway. In fact Montana is really nowhere near the Arctic Circle at all.Originally Posted by flybyme Go to original post
