I read in the news that there has been a Coronal Mass Eruption on the Sun and it has been causing the Polar lights to become much brighter and even visible in areas where they've not been seen for a very long time.

@Lilac-JadeCanada Back in 1988 we had the Southern Lights doing their dance over Broken Hill for 3 nights in a row due to another Coronal Mass Eruption from the Sun.
Even though Lorrae was only 4 years old at the time, we sat up and watched the every night until we were finally too tired to stay awake.
I've never forgotten that Lorrae called them " The Stars having a Birthday Party."
@Lilac-JadeCanada It's funny the things little kids can come up with to reason out why things are happening isn't it.
@Lilac-JadeCanada Plus one of the things I learned as an Amateur Radio Operator was that pointing your Beam Antenna INTO the Auroras would enhance the "skip" ( the bounce from the Ionosphere) of your radio transmission by approx. 15-24%.
And it really worked as well.
Gorgeous magical wow! ! !

An amazing wonder of nature!
I can remember an extremely rare night in the early 1950s when the Northern Lights actually reached northern Florida. The night sky was lit with flowing red. I didn't understand it and that was in my teenage religious years and I wondered if that was some religious sign.
