I'm wondering if that flare is causing the hiccups in my cable TV
boardcasts.. It
was particularly poor last night... something I can't rememger seeing
before, a
dead stop to the sound and video for a few seconds at a time with no
pixilization.
Wish I could be somewhere in the country to give it a look.

There will also be a nearly full moon, which will be bad if the light
is weak, but can add to the scene if the auroras are bright enough.
Weather is uncooperative here. Good luck.

At 02 UTC the sun belched an X-Flare in the earth's face. This is a
magnitude bigger than the M-Class flare that caused northern latitude
aurora earlier tonight. "X-class flares are big and are major events
that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting
radiation storms. X-class flares are big and are major events that
can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation
storms. According to NASA, this is the biggest solar flare so far
from this solar cycle."
The next couple of nights could be something special, even for
mid-latitude watchers. I've seen the northern lights twice from here
in Nebraska and your camera picks up far more than your eye does. For
those needing a refresher:

Step One would be to find dark skies.
