If the Sun calms down by the weekend! Severe geomagnetic storms are a happenin'!
Severe enough that we actually did get to see aurora over New Jersey last night! It was beautiful while it lasted, which was not long at all. I thought the Northern Lights were something that lasted for a bit longer than what we saw last night. I'm hoping we get another view tonight.
