Same bit of aurora last night around 11pm but from my DSLR instead of phone. (not visible naked eye) Alki beach, Seattle.

A glimpse at #aurora about 10 min ago in #Seattle. #AuroraBorealis #SpaceWeather #SpaceWX

All the storms & rain have me going stir-crazy. I've had this #PixieKit for 2 yrs. Fun little project. We'll test it out this weekend during questionable #SpaceWeather #SpaceWx conditions. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #QRP #QRPp #MorseCode CW
Today’s view of our star as seen from West Seattle. Sunspot group 4079 is showing us more detail as it turns towards us.

Our star today as seen from West Seattle. Get a load of monstrous sunspot group 4079 — wow!

#hfbandconditions are living up to the #spaceweather #spacewx hype. Nice spring hike in the woods though with an added bonus of a cw #morsecode #qrpr #hb1b #pota #parksontheair activation #QSO with Howie #ac4fs #amateurradio #hamradio

CME-related solar wind disturbances are starting to taper off, allowing the geomagnetic field to calm somewhat; currently seeing G1 (Minor) geomagnetic storm conditions, with a G3+ warning remaining in effect through 0600 UTC (about 2.5 hours from now). #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx #aurora
Just went out in the backyard for a bit and turned off all the lights to let my eyes adjust; I could *maybe* see a slight reddish cast to the north, but I wouldn't really call that “visible”. My phone, however, caught it a bit more distinctly. (That last shot was pointing the phone straight up, with the bottom half being north). #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx #aurora
G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storm conditions continue, and I'm seeing posts reporting that aurora are visible at least as far south as Boston, MA. #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx #aurora
Long-duration flare in progress from (former) AR3842 on the far side of the west limb; X-ray flux starting to level off around M2.7 (R1 - Minor radio blackout). #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx #aurora
Current space weather conditions:
-R1 (Minor) radio blackout — X-ray flare in progress from AR3842 around the west limb
-S1 (Minor) solar radiation storm — continued proton event from the X1.8 flare
-G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storm — CME arrival from the X1.8 flare
Geomagnetic storm thresholds are based on total measured variations in the Earth's magnetic field within a given 3-hour UTC synoptic period (0000-0300, 0300-0600, etc), with the scale resetting at the start of each new 3-hour block.
You can see this in effect in the 5th row of this graphic, where the Predicted Estimated Kp (planetary K-index) drops to 0 every three hours. #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx #aurora
G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storm conditions once again being observed. #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx #aurora
Been busy with work for the last couple hours, but G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storm conditions were observed about an hour and a half ago. #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx #aurora
