"The pinks and greens were visible to the naked eye. I lost my entire train of thought. I cheered. I may have shed a tear, even. I'm shocked I managed to get this in focus with all the excitement! Best I've seen to date." Auroras were also sighted in Minnesota and Wisconsin. There's nothing special about auroras in the USA, per se. Canadians had an even better show. But auroras touching the "lower 48" are a sign that Solar Cycle 25 is intensifying. Today, it's Minnesota and Michigan; in a few years, perhaps, California and Texas. Stay tuned!

User ID: 78918190 United States 03/14/2021 02:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Geomagnetic Storm An enhanced solar wind stream ranging between 550-600 km/s is currently causing a geomagnetic disturbance at higher latitudes. The minor (G1) geomagnetic storm threshold was reached at 05:50 UTC (March 14). Visible aurora will remain likely at high latitudes during the next 24 hours once it is dark outside. Solar Update Solar activity continues at very low levels with no noteworthy solar flares to report. AR 2809 appears to be growing again in the southwest quadrant, but is not considered a flare threat at this time. https://imgur.com/BuFy6Qf [link to www.solarham.net (secure)] ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

Check the times for your location here: [link to spotthestation.nasa.gov (secure)] The higher the angle the easier to see above trees and buildings. These appearances only last a few minutes and they're always on time. In my area (Philly/SNJ) it will appear at 8:41 EDT in the west. If the shies are clear I hope to watch it.
