So many times I have missed a magnificent display of Aurora, particularly bright moon or other sights that I would have liked to see.

Supported by a team of experts, Felix Baumgartner will undertake a stratospheric balloon flight to more than 120,000 feet / 36,576 meters and make a record-breaking freefall jump in the attempt to become the first man to break the speed of sound in freefall (an estimated 690 miles / 1,110 kilometers per hour), while delivering valuable data for medical and scientific advancement.

Minor CME impact, so there is a slight chance of auroras if you have clear sky and live in areas in higher latitudes. http://maptacsphotography.com/Home
