Solar and geomagnetic storm of May 11th 2024
« on: May 14, 2024, 10:16:23 pm »
Did any of you see the aurora in the night sky during this event?
Did any of you notice anything unusual?

I was able to measure the geomagnetic storm with an instrument I madeand i compared it to the measurements in Boulder Colorado and they agree to a large degree!

My brother saw the aurora, and so did his friend.

A dog here went nuts and wouldn't stop barking till they took him in and he is usually quiet.

My computer crashed at the same time my TV sound bar turned off.

And my ham radio had static so strong it was just noise at times.
Later I will try to post some images here.

Did any of you see the aurora?

I did not see the aurora. It doesn't get dark enough this time of year to see it :(

Would be cool to see your pictures though. I see a lot of people saw red, which I've never seen before.
