Geomagnetic Storm Warning

I could see something that looked out of place. It was very faint, but that was it. My Galaxy did the same.

 

Total coverage and rain here (DC.)

But the pics are awesome.

When I teach astronomy classes (not this year) I tell them it’s rare you’ll get to see it here. I try to give them perspective about the layers of the atmosphere, and the thermosphere is the Northern Lights. Hot there, but not what we call “hot” because heat transfer is limited due to density, etc. But hot enough to excite individual electrons into showing out.

You might see it tonight!

Nope.

 

Well putting him in a concentration camp was probably not good for his development.

 

Couldn't get outside of town last night, but saw the aurora from our backyard.

 

For those sky watchers, ISS flyover tonight.

A long exposure with the ISS streaking through the sky with the colors as a backdrop would be so sick. Shouldn't be much light from the moon tonight, which is good.

 

P.s. that's specifically for here. You can plug in your location for more precise details. Should be pretty similar to these.

International Space Station

 

Thanks. I'm going to try to view it tonight. kp up here tonight is supposed to be 9. Holy aurora!

 

We saw it! Stepped out on our deck at the time shown by your website and it was clear as day, streaking across the sky. Really cool. The aurora was strong last night, too.

 

Nice! Cool pic!

 

From my Uncles window on Lakeshore dr in Chicago. lol

 

never would have made this connection, better fire up the generator this weekend just to make sure. predicting 40% + more than normal storms this year. has occurred only 11 times in 5500 years. waters were already much warmer, much sooner before we got blasted

Scientists sound alarm over powerful geomagnetic storm engulfing Earth (msn.com)

According to a recent study, a solar storm that hits the Earth can cause hurricanes and storms.

As part of their work, a team of scientists used a model that:

・studied the activity of tropical cyclones over the past 5500 years

・identified 11 time periods when there were 40% more storms on Earth than usual

The only common feature of these periods was extreme solar activity.

 

This season is feeling really frightening
