​Around the Place

Chasing clear skies - The big one!

"Around May 10-11, 2024, Earth experienced a series of powerful solar storms. These storms originated from a large, active sunspot cluster on the sun, which emitted multiple strong solar flares and subsequent Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) directed towards our planet. When these CMEs reached Earth's magnetic field, they triggered a severe to extreme (G4-G5) geomagnetic storm, the most powerful observed since 2003. The most notable effect was the widespread and stunning appearance of auroras (Northern and Southern Lights), which were visible in many regions much further from the poles than usual, although there were also minor concerns about potential impacts on satellite communications and power grids."

We had the 7th strongest geomagnetic storm in modern history hit earth! I thought it would be a good time to bring them out to document the night. 
Some stats from the night:
  • Solar Wind Speed: 1000km/s
  • Solar Wind Density: 56p/cm3
  • IMF Bt (total energy): 56nT
  • IMF Bz (Orientation): -50nT
  • Glendale Substorm: -4200nT
  • KP Index: 9 G5 (KP8 or higher storming for 33 hours in a row)
Unfortunately nearly everywhere I went that night, was plagued with clouds. Comment below your photos!
