Aurora/Radiation Storm

[Kyle]

EXTREME SOLAR ACTIVITY: One of the most powerful solar flares in years erupted from giant sunspot 486 this morning at approximately 1110 UT. The X17-category explosion caused a strong and ongoing solar radiation storm. Click here to learn how such storms can affect our planet. The explosion also hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME) toward Earth. When it left the sun, the cloud was traveling 2125 km/s (almost 5 million mph). This CME could trigger bright auroras when it sweeps past our planet perhaps as early as tonight.

Tonight and tomorrow morning might be the best chance in years.

That may be a little too hot to handle even for her.

Besides, I wasn't the one that was able to swindle 0 % interest financing...

Cool but it's cloudy tonight so I'll look tomorrow.
