Not Too Bright

After reading about the huge solar flares, as posted by [livejournal.com profile] pixelshim, I was hoping to see a bit of the northern lights tonight. But, so far, all there is is a very faint reddish glow in the sky. The display earlier this year (or was it late last year- time being wont to fly) was much more intense. Well, there are several hours of darkness yet. I'll keep checking; it still might brighten up.

It appears that the first wave front slammed into the Earth when those in Europe could best see it.

I hope you saw the second one which, as I went to bed, was expected anywhere up to 12 hours after the first.
