I've just enjoyed watching a fantastic Auraura today from ~7:30 PM to just
prior to 8:00 PM EST, when it suddenly faded appreciably. At one point
nearly the entire sky to the north and the east of me (both extending
nearly to the zenith) were simply ablaze in pink. It may have started
much earlier here, but 7:30 PM is when I stepped outside and noticed it.
I'm hoping for more. Heading out again.
