Watch out for Aurora Tonight

If you live north of me in Europe, there’s a pretty good chance you’ll see an aurora tonight. I’m looking forward to seeing all the photos!

The US Space Weather Prediction Center has issued its first “severe geomagnetic storm watch” today for the first time in nearly 20 years.

The activity is expected to make the aurora borealis phenomenon visible across Northern Europe in the early hours of Saturday, May 11th (after midnight tonight).
