This is the night to see them guys, this am at 1am the LARGEST Coronal Mass Ejection (plasma gas explosion) came from the sun, took all of 19 hours for it to get here....g5 strength storm which is like a Typhoon hitting the Cape to us. Strongest storm possible. If you have a scanner listen to your 30-50 mhz channels and you have a chance at hearing signals from THOUSANDS of miles away. It charges the ionosphere so strong that you see the lights. We had brialliant RED about 1 hour ago....they will get MUCH clearer later tonite after midnight when there is less convectional air cooling which hampers seeing them.
If you want to see some REALLY cool video of just how BIG this thing was, go to
www.spaceweather.com and see the soho satellite images.
