Aurora watchers
There may be more tonight. But also in a few days. There was an X5.6 flare last night that partially faced earth. They take a couple days to get here. The sun has been very active. Worth tracking for a while
This was th FIRST time I've seen lights during modern tech.
Last time was sept 28th 1978. My mom woke be they very dumb, nothing like last night. However ot gave me weird chills because mom said oh btw the Pope died (Pope John Paul I) lol

In particular scroll down to the Auroral Oval.
The red was completely coving the US last night. This is now. I'll be watch to see if this builds up.
Observations - we were in Kp8 (using the measurement at top of page. The particles take about 35 minutes from that measurement to earth. << this is pretty accurate.
So look tonight to see if it grows over us again.
