That means there are big solar flares. Maybe that's why people are having data connection problems.

Like yourself, Weebear, I'm totally in awe of the Northern Lights (not the kind you smoke ).

I didn't know you guys could see them up there. Colour me jealous!

I love this guy's channel on Youtube:

The Aurora - YouTube

Unfortunately only one of his videos is available via the 360.

Yes we can indeed see them from Scotland Big Supes. Lovely Video.

I read that there are going to big solar flares hitting tomorrow and they are rerouting planes, so there should be big northern lights tomorrow night.

Exciting stuff palandri, bit scary too.

This is where the app Space Weather comes in handy.

 

[TheWeeBear]

Which a certain person downloaded when it was free.

Nice! Can't see them from my area, wish I could though.

 

[TheWeeBear]

They're a sight to behold scottcraft, mesmerising and quite beautiful.

I'm a ham radio op so solar activity has a effect on radio propagation. Meaning at certain times I can talk farther out on certain frequencies. My nick is my call sig.

Would that be the 'Skip' then kg4icg ?

 

[kg4icg]

Yes it would. I hold a general class license so I cover from hf to microwave.

I'm none the wiser kg4ic, a friend is a member of this club.

Kilmarnock and Loudoun Amateur Radio Club

His call sign is mm3dby I think.

Massive Solar Storm Hurtles Towards Earth After Biggest Solar Eruption In Six Years | World News | Sky News

Scarier yet, every 20 million years we have a massive extinction and nobody is really sure why or what causes it. We are floating on a rock, circling a star and are being held in place by something called gravity, which we don't fully understand.

It's all relative.
