I happened to be outside and looking up during the Gannon storm, which peaked at Kp 9 (G5 storm). In hindsight, I wish I had stayed up all night; the aurora only showed up silver to the eye (but colorful in photos), and I suspect I could have seen some dazzling color if I'd been out at a different time.

Tonight's forecast shows a peak of Kp 5. It should be visible to northern latitudes but unlikely to show up like this. It's worth a walk outside nonetheless!

I was lucky enough to be outside and looking up during this huge event. In hindsight, I wish I hadn't gone to sleep - Kp levels up to 9 were observed and I suspect this was taken during a relatively quiet time.

Tonights forecast is Kp 5. It should be visible from some of the northern hemisphere but unlikely to show up like this. Worth a brief walk outside nonetheless!
