The storm is subsiding, so probably not like the last two nights...

We had a look, but it was quite hazy, so all we saw was just a very faint, colourless imitation of the aurora. Bad luck.

I forgot to go out to look.

[quote=LN13] Our radio at work has been fuzzing out all day. I even joked with my boss about sunspots before I saw the story about the solar storm. [/quote

Been out for almost 3 hrs tonight. We don't often see them as well we did tonight. Quite a nice display. They are still out there dancing around, but I had to leave. Lousy photos but worth getting cold for.

The strongest geomagnetic storm of the current solar cycle is happening now. If you are in the northern latitudes and have a clear sky tonight (or it's night right now), I would head to somewhere dark and take a look. We even have a new moon! I so wish I was back in Iceland right now!

Reports last night had sightings as far south as Illinois.
