Solar Storm, Oct 10-11, 2024. What a night.
Another big solar flare hit the night of Oct 10-11. With kp8 strength forecast we were hoping for a big show this time we weren’t disappointed. People around the globe got to see brilliant aurora. People as far south as Florida were seeing it, and friends of mine in Wisconsin got some nice shots with brilliant reds and pinks. Here in Bear Valley, the clouds finally opened up around midnight for about an hour and we got a really dynamic, active show. Not much red, but the aurora was dancing!
