Misc Space Weather

Certainly not anything super amazing. And wow, the street light is so bright! But I definitely think my camera picked up hints of the northern lights tonight. Not as spectacular as this last spring, for sure. But considering I live just north of Atlanta - still super cool!

worth noting in May the BT was consistently in the 40s and even 50s, touched 70 at one point, and BZ shot down to near -50. Gonna be hard to beat that and I doubt we will. But we need either a consistent BZ value of -15> along with a Bt (interplanetary magnetic field) of 20 or more to get Aurora/SAR arcs into the SE US. I think it’s possible, especially if we get a flux rope towards the middle-end of the CME that’s pointed south, which favors stable but -BZ. Better hope it’s not pointed north. But I have hope considering the flux rope days ago only contained -15 BZ/14-16 BT (IMF) and substorms/SAR arcs was visible across NC/TN/AR. Solar wind should be much stronger this go around as well with up to 700-800km/sec and higher density
Keep a eye on this tomorrow, can be seen at spaceweatherlive.com

I'd say we're looking decent?
