Join me LIVE today at 6:45pm PDT (01:45 UTC) for an informal briefing on all the crazy things the Sun is throwing at us. Our Sun has had very poor aim when it comes to #solarstorms, but it more than makes up for it with solar flares and eye-candy! www.patreon.com/posts/103772163 pic.twitter.com/JAWgt3QcfA

For those watching the #solarstorm arrival, it is slow-moving, but it could bump us to G1-levels if current conditions continue. Too early to tell for sure, but it looks like sustained southward field is on the menu so decent #aurora views could last over the next 12-24 hours! pic.twitter.com/DYASII30ag
