TONIGHT'S AURORA+CLOUDS FORECAST: We could potentially see the strongest solar storm impact since 2003/2005 as several solar storms launched from several days ago combine before reaching Earth. Our aurora visibility forecast shows aurora viewing possible north of the red line,

We have entered level 5 solar storm conditions - first time in 21 years. Will be going live tonight to discuss.

Extreme (G5) geomagnetic conditions have been observed!

Absolutely biblical skies in Tasmania at 4am this morning. I’m leaving today and knew I could not pass up this opportunity for such a large solar storm. Here’s the image. I actually had to de-saturate the colours. Clouds glowing red. Insane. Shot on Nikon. Rt appreciated

For the first time since the Halloween Solar Storms of 2003 we have now officially reached the Extreme G5 geomagnetic storm threshold at 22:54 UTC. With an observed Dst at -348 this is now one of the all-time strongest geomagnetic storms of the modern era only rivaled by the

BIGGEST FLARE YET - X5.8 Folks, we're not done yet. Only 3 of 6 eruptions have struck, we hit level 5 solar storm conditions and we may have a 7th blast on its way.

Aurora in Joshua tree National park tonight

This video features a spectacular global coronal wave, the lower part of a shock wave driven by the fast halo CME. This event was also associated with an X5.8 flare from AR 13664, the second largest flare in solar cycle 25. The proton event had a quick rise and a hard spectrum.

“You will use dongles and you will be happy”

By the way, the Dst index (quick look) hit -412 nT, the first time to go below -400 nT since 20 November 2003. The solar wind data are already messy, making it hard to understand the evolution after the first shock arrival at ~16:30 on 10 May 2024.

Didn't get back to Vegas until 5:30am, but it was totally worth it! Shots from/near Cathedral Gorge State Park in Lincoln County, NV NWS Las Vegas #nvwx

Back of the camera from Wyoming, right now!

Beware the fake aurora photos being posted to capitalize on the hype train. These are composite blends, and the aurora could never look like that from those locations. They’re pretty artwork, but completely unrealistic and just a sad attempt at milking some engagement.

While we will probably NOT see Kp 9 conditions or a repeat of Friday/Saturday nights, solar wind speed is still very elevated. This could push aurora down to mid latitudes, mainly the Canadian border states, with short-lived bursts of horizon activity further south of that.

This. No one will stop you, but if you post faked/composited/AI aurora photos from this last storm just to get on top of the algorithm, that's sad and you will lose my respect. The aurora is beautiful already, so why can't we embrace it for what it is? This storm hit the

During Covid-19, insurance companies paid Pediatricians a $40,000 bonus for fully vaccinating 100 patients under the age of 2. If your doctor managed to fully vaccinate 200 patients, the bonus jumped to $80,000. However, Pediatricians would lose the whole bonus unless at least
