elaterite, (edited ) Wow, our planet's magnetosphere is getting hammered by a solar wind created by a couple of coronal mass ejections from the other day. My Mastodon timeline is filled with beautiful aurora photos from much further south in Europe than normal. Americans: Heads up looking north after night fall--the show is likely to continue for awhile! It would be worth your while to drive to a dark a place with dark skies to the north for this event. https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/products/aurora-30-minute-forecast #Aurora
