Aurora

Thu 11 Sep, 2014 4:15 pm

Hey Tasmanian walkers.

Tonight you might see a decently large aurora when looking south. There's been a X-class solar flare which looks like it'll hit us.

But with today’s flare and CME pointed right at Earth, the aurora activity could be even more wide-spread and be seen down to lower altitudes.

We'll see if it happens! I have a feeling it will peak before darkness descends...
