G1 Geomagnetic Storm

Post by Carbon60 »

After weeks of relative calm it was exciting to see some geomagnetic activity at last. Earth is passing through a stream of fast-moving solar wind creating a G1 solar storm and Aurora around the poles. Good luck if you're in a good location to see them directly.
