It appears the auroras all actually make complete circles! I didn't realize that! Probably a current has to flow all the way around.

Interesting about the suits too. If you think about it they need to simply put in high conductivity in the outer most layer. One side of them is 275F the other side is about 5F.

Good point on the full circles, I guess when the Sun starts spitting out particles it's like a wet dog shaking,
with them going everywhere. So we get full coverage but they get pulled to the poles. That's interesting, I wonder
if when it's happening at the North Pole it's happening simultaneously at the South pole, or it can just do one pole
without the other? I would think both since that Sun pee is coming from the side.

Keep in mind it's not the pole, but the magnetic pole which drifts. Right now the Russians are pulling the North Pole
away at something like 35 miles a day.
