Keep Your Eyes on the Skies

[Paleophyte]

I'm starting this thread for everything cool that's going on overhead.

Keep your eyes on the skies for the next few days. The sun has produced several very energetic flares, and the ejecta is en route to Earth. Two or more of these may combine en route and produce even more potent "cannibal" CMEs. Details at SpaceWeather.

The upshot of all that is that we have good odds of seeing low-latitude northern lights over the next few days.

And rocks. For those of you unfamiliar with rocks, they aren't normally found in the air, but Pele is doing her thing again in Kilauea and there are spectacular fire fountains. If you miss them this time around, just check back regularly. Kilauea erupts this way every couple of weeks. The live cams are courtesy of the USGS and the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory, but you may have to watch them on YouTube.
