The magnetic poles are shifting... thus, so is the planet... a bit. This causes the light show to shift as well, since it's kinda reflecting in on us from the North.

They say that the magnetic north pole will leave Canada very soon actually!! Here is a blurb from some scientists...

"At its current velocity, Mag North will move out of Canada's waters by 2005, and if it continues on its present path, it will be just off the coast of Siberia in about 50 years."

This is as it stands now... however, it tends to shift constantly... and is always "wobbly" which is why it's been stuck within Canadian borders for the past 400 years.

Anyway, that's my science lesson for today.. enjoy
