The sky above my house this evening

[Image description: the Aurora borealis painted the night sky with streaks of red, purple, and green all the way down to the 43rd parallel this evening]
It's so true. I've gotten to see them before, way up Maine, but not as brightly as this evening and it was breathtaking. Our whole dead end street was all out at the same time, we could hear each other marveling at it all
We’re at maximum of solar cycle 25; these Aurora are the direct result of Earth-directed CMEs which have happened in the past few days. This most recent one being an X-class flare.
Fabulous time for sky-gazers and amateur radio operators!
