i should add that the radiation storm is rather un-usual and dosent really effect the auroras, just an after effect of a large explosion on the sun a few days back where there was a giant solar flare...

Only a short while ago it was announced there is going to be a great investigation of solar activity and to encourage us the Sun farts in our general direction
Did the sudden interest of millions made that solar flare happen?

Well, I noticed the geomagnetic storm but I admit I didn't notice the radiation storm.
