11/12/25 Wed 9:45pm....NOAA is now forecasting a G4 magnetic storm (similar to last night) with Kp 8. So the Aurora chances to be seen are growing for the lower 48. Timing is difficult to pin down so it is a hurry up and wait game. I just saw some faint glows to the northwest from Charleston, SC, but the long exposure pics are not capturing it well enough to post. It's there but very dim. Let's see if it gets brighter as the night goes on.

The field is tilting farther south now. Let's see if we can view the Aurora glow down into the Carolinas next hour or so.

Great post by my buddy Pano!

11/12/25 Wed 7:45pm Northern Lights update:
The Kp levels are still too low at just under a 5 right now. They need to be above at >7 or so for us to get a good glimpse at them this far south at the coastal SC latitude and southwards. The night is not over yet so lets keep an eye out for it!

Lol "cannibal solar storm"...what is it gonna eat other solar flares? Such garbage.

Say goodbye to new pennies. :(
They are going to stop minting them tomorrow. They actually take 4 cents to make each now! The last time a coin was discontinued was the half-cent coin in 1857.

This was some cool visible satellite imagery from last night (Tuesday) by CIRA using the Suomi-NPP satellite’s visible infrared imaging radiometer suite (VIIRS). Really neat where it parked over the Northern Tier states!

Great info on phone settings to capture the Northern Lights! I have mine at 4 seconds on the Droid. Remember though....it is hard to hold the phone still for longer so get a tripod or something to keep it still!

11/12/25 Wednesday:
We are under a continued G4 (Severe) watch with >7 Kp prediction while a 3rd CME (Coronal Mass Ejection) is en route to splash into our atmosphere. How it orientates between the poles will tell whether or not we could see Northern Lights down south across the US like we did last night. If the G4 intensifies to G5 and we have >7 Kp, then yes we could see it again even better! Best time will be right after dark and several hours into the night. Might be all gone by early morning hours.
NOTE: This is not an easy event to forecast and is NOT like weather at all. We are talking about geomagnetic forces that evolve in real time after CME's occur. Intensity and brilliance-->distance of viewership are very difficult to nail down and never a 100% guarantee. It's just cool we have this capability to even give a heads up at all!
