NOAA says ‘extreme’ Solar storm will persist through the weekend
So far disruptions from the geomagnetic storm appear to be manageable.
Never thought i would see them were i live,but last night was amazing.
I didn't get a ton, but I'm so glad I got to see what I did. I've been waiting to see the aurora my entire life. Hopefully before too much longer I can finally take that trip to Reykjavik I've been dreaming of for so long.
So I can try to see them again tonight?
From what I’ve heard which is to be taken with a grain of salt: There is a chance tonight and tomorrow. 12:00am to 2:30 is the possible range tonight. If I was you I’d just keep an out after 10pm every 30 mins or so.
Thanks for this info. I hope the skies are clear tonight.
Does this irradiate us? I mean, if this is the result of a CME, and the atmosphere is responding to it, isn't a natural conclusion that we're receiving a measurable amount of radiation across the globe throughout this event?
Yes. You're being bombarded by electromagnetic radiation caused by the interaction of solar ions and the Earth's magnetic field as well as the excitation and de-excitation of atoms in the atmosphere from collisions with said ions.
That radiation has wavelengths primarily in the infrared and visible spectrum, with some ultraviolet radiation also being emitted.
So, you know, nothing you wouldn't experience just from being outside after 7am
I drove up into the mountains last night and didn't see shit.
Same was sad because i missed the previous night that was intense according to friends
I brought my fancy camera and remote shutter and a tripod and everything. 😥
Missed it Friday and it was storming last night. Pretty dang upset I missed them.
I saw them like 12 years ago or some shit during a crazy solar storm, but those were green. I wanna see the pink ones, dammit.
