Here is video from the coronal mass ejection from the sun last night.

According to VE3EN at https://solarham.net "The eastern edge of the plasma cloud may deliver a glancing blow to our geomagnetic field within 48-72 hours."
The sun has been really active today! I've been getting notifications (App is called SpaceWeatherLive) since I woke up about solar flares and radio blackouts being possible.
For the visually impaired: All images attached are images showing charts from the Android app, SpaceWeatherLive, about today's solar flares.
Amazing reminder 649846514376343541856 of why so many consider Michigan’s Upper Peninsula to be God’s country.

Some more photos from my Northern Lights adventure last night. People pay money to fly to Alaska or Iceland for shots like this!! So last night was very special to me :) #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis #Aurora #StormHour #UpperMichigan #KeweenawPeninsula #PureMichigan #SpaceWx

Minor Radiation Storm Continues
March 14, 2023 @ 18:50 UTC
Proton levels remain at the minor (S1) radiation storm threshold a full 36 hours following a major coronal mass ejection (CME) on the farside of the Sun. We can use common sense to understand that had the full halo CME estimated to be traveling at least 3000 km/s been Earth directed, we would be talking about a significant radiation storm and more than likely, a severe geomagnetic storm. Earth dodged a solar storm this time around, however the next several years will see more opportunities for major events as we head towards solar maximum."

G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storm conditions continue due to ongoing CME effects. #spaceweather #spacewx
G3 (Strong) geomagnetic storm conditions have been observed over the last several hours due to arrival of multiple recent CMEs at Earth; G3 storm warning continues until 1800 UTC. #spaceweather #spacewx
One of the practical effects of a solar proton event can be seen in this capture from the SOHO LASCO C2 instrument — sensor noise (in the form of white speckles) picks up significantly after the flare and associated CME. #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
#solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
This S1 radiation storm event is ongoing, with 10 MeV solar proton flux continuing to trend very slowly upward, currently measured at 58 particle flux units (pfu) at GOES-16; threshold for S2 (Moderate) radiation storm is 100 pfu. #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
#solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
An S1 (Minor) solar radiation storm is underway after another, much larger enhancement to solar proton flux at Earth resulting from an M6.3 X-ray flare (R2 - Moderate radio blackout) from active region 3229 (the same region responsible for yesterday's long-duration M3.7 flare). #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
#solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
Just catching the tail end of a long-duration R1 (Minor) radio blackout from an M3.7 X-ray flare, courtesy of AR 3229 in the northwest quadrant; there's an added twist this time, though, with solar proton levels seeing a small but measurable increase at GOES-16 — still well below S1 radiation storm levels, though. #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
#solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
And with X-ray flux back down to C9.6, R1 radio blackout conditions are no longer present. (That lasted about 3x longer than I was expecting!) #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
#solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
Judging from the size of the bright spot in the latest SDO 131 capture, this flare is less of an explosion and more of an eruption — somewhat slower buildup to peak energy, and *much* slower decay to background levels afterward. #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
#solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
We're not done yet; after a second peak at M1.4 and brief coastdown, X-ray flux has leveled off and may be increasing again. R1 radio blackout conditions still present. #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
#solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
There's that SDO 131 Angstrom capture, and the expected starburst from AR 3234 in the upper-left edge. X-ray flux holding more or less steady at M1.4. #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
#solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
Looks like this event might not be *quite* so short-lived; flare initially peaked at M1.23 and started trending downward, then reversed course and started increasing again (currently M1.4). #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
#solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
It'll be a bit before the next Solar Dynamics Observatory capture at 131 Angstroms, but this shot at 304 would seem to point to AR 3234 near the northeast limb again. #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
#solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
Seeing the start of what's looking to be a short-lived R1 (Minor) radio blackout event — X-ray flux at M1.0 and already leveling off. #solarflare #spaceweather #spacewx
