Just had a big solar flare, Aurora tonight... [View all]

Along with the fading side of the Perseid meteor shower. And probably tomorrow as well.

G4 level solar storm. I noticed interruptions in a live stream I was watching so I looked at the dashboard and sure enough. I went out to watch the meteor shower last night and saw the Aurora, a much better showing at the time, in green and red. Pretty intense and it was just the beginning from a solar flare on Sunday.
