Aurora borealis could be visible in wide swaths of continental US, Europe on Saturday because of large solar flare

It's now a G3 level geomagnetic storm!

Think that's what it's been rated since I heard about it, if I'm not mistaken.

Haha! That's funny. Could be Malmsteen, Gilbert, and Petrucci for all I know.

Seems this is a new CME that left the Sun on Nov. 2 according to the press release I quote above.

"Only days after the last coronal mass ejection (CME) from the surface of the sun, with resulting aurorae, it’s time for a new one! This bump-up in activity is expected as Solar Cycle 25 continues to ramp up. On November 2, 2021, a solar flare in the now-visible sunspot region called AR2891 launched another CME toward Earth."

This is me 5 years ago in Stronstad, Norway. Now I’m patiently waiting for the Aurora Delay arrives in the FM3

Yessir, that's the stuff that there. Hire that guy to do lights for sure.

I'm too far south to see it, but I was out very early this morning and saw Venus, Mars, the Moon, Jupiter, & Saturn all in a row! Coolest thing I'd ever seen, next to looking at Mars through an old Naval Academy telescope, and being able to see its polar cap.

Northern lights back in the 90s.....boy was that some good stuff.

Mine was in the 80's.

No Northern Lights for me here. I did see a shooting star and a big ass Owl out hunting in the Moonlight, though.

Any of you Great White North boys see it?
I'd love to visit that part of the Earth where the sun "rises" & "falls" annually. What's that line called?
