If this were facing Earth, we could be preparing for a geomagnetic storm and night(s) of potentially widespread auroras! Alas…

How many photos of aurora do you have on your phone?

So good

Some slight solar wind enhancement with Bt close to 10 nT, speed nearing 500 km/s, and density around 10/cc. No chances of crazy auroras tonight at mid-latitudes, but there potentially may be some glow to the north along the U.S.-Canada border. Just an FYI.

IT'S HAPPENING (again)

R3-level radio blackout now over the Pacific Ocean. Quite short-lived. As a reminder, X-class flares are common during solar maximum.
