    Managed to catch the Aurora all the way down in the South of England. Its far from rare to see them in the UK though it tends to be easier/more common to see them much further north. For them to be visible so far south is a rarer occasion.

    I spent five hours driving around Southwest Virginia Friday night trying to find myself outside clouds and storms at a good vantage point while the aurora was popping off. I got some beautiful colors in the sky, but no dancing. Finally, I had resigned to defeat and I was just a mile from home when I saw whispers through my windshield and decided to pull over one last time. Aurora (my dog) and I got the show of our lifetime at about 2:30 AM EDT, which would have been around the time you were filming this. Thanks for sharing!

So on my way home that night, round about midnught, I took this photo from the pedestrian bridge over Sunnyvale. CA, about 40 miles south of San Francisco.

      @@tjzambonischwartz Really just a little bigger than normal compared to the famous Carrington event in 1859 had several eruptions and caused auroras to be visible at low latitudes for four nights. Similarly, the solar storm of September 1770 lasted for nearly nine days, and caused repeated low-latitude auroras. The two mentioned events probably would have caused disrupt radio transmissions and cause damage to satellites and electrical transmission line facilities, resulting in potentially massive and long-lasting power outages. Hope we don't see one of those.

    • @w3vjp568

      This level of auroral activity happens maybe once every 50 years, on average. There's a massive sunspot group on the surface of the sun right now that "burped" a coronal mass ejection our way, and this is the result.

    The particles in a coronal mass ejection that cause aurora are not a form of ionizing radiation The actual ionizing radiation are the x-rays that are emitted from the solar flare, 24-78hrs prior to a geomagnetic storm, depending on velocity of the ejection.

I'm near the CA/OR border and got great colorful iPhone pictures, but naked eye could only see the faintest of green and no pink at all. What my eyes did see was mostly just a diffuse whitish glow to the north, but the curtains/streaks/smears were the dead giveaway that it was an aurora.
