Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

I was out. Still missed it.

Me too. Does anyone know of sources to find out about upcoming events beforehand?

Nice, thank you. That led me indirectly to a website also but somewhat more limited in scope: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-viewline-tonight-and-tomorrow-night-experimental
