Southern Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Michigan, Wisconsin, and similar latitudes are likely to see auroras tonight if the weather is clear. Earth is passing through an area of intense solar wind coming from a coronal hole on the sun. It won’t be dark enough here for us to see the aurora, darnit.
Sunspot 375 has been growing, threatening powerful X-class solar flares.
And that’s not all!

Dammit, I’m in Michigan and knew nothing about that! Though I’m so deeply entrenched in the city that I doubt I could have seen a damned thing…
