Auroras this weekend

The energetic particles reaching earth last night were even more than forecast, and the auroras were visible as far south as southern Georgia! Sadly I missed them but photos are all over social media and the news. There was another huge X class flare overnight …

and several more waves of particles are reaching the earth from last weeks flares, so try again tonight and tomorrow. NOAA has an experimental “Aurora Dashboard” that is worth checking out to see how things are going (click to go to NOAA).
