These trials make us who we are.... Smoke, clouds, and moonlight. But perseverance led to this. 鉂わ笍 #northernlights #Auroraborealis @TamithaSkov @Vincent_Ledvina

Could see some action!
Incoming CME! Arrival at Earth possibly early on July 26th. The source of the slow partial halo was the eruption of a small filament this morning. Not expecting much from this one, but we could see some minor storming (G1). Prediction from NASA M2M SWAO by @spacewxwatch
Was so stoked to catch aurora in Acadia National park! 鈾ワ笍. Short and sweet, but that's all you need! #acadia #maine #aurora #northernlights @Vincent_Ledvina @TamithaSkov

Going to be a substormy bumpy ride! Coronal hole is delivering some activity. Acadia National Park, ME #spacewx #northernlights #aurora #maine @TamithaSkov @Vincent_Ledvina

Yay!! New space weather birds!
NOAA鈥檚 SWFO-L1 spacecraft has arrived in Florida to begin launch preparations. Set to launch with NASA鈥檚 IMAP mission no earlier than Sep., SWFO-L1 will journey a million miles to L1 to deliver real-time observations of the Sun and solar wind to SWPC.
Spent the weekend in Canada with some amazing friends. 鈾ワ笍. #canada #alberta #mountains

Adding to the cool weather from the air thing. Here's a storm that we flew between. #weather #StormHour #flying #avation

Chicago last night after spending most the day at the airport due to weather. About as close to the city I like to get. 馃槀 #aerial #chicago #sunset

Taking the scenic route. Lol #aviation #Weather #travel

PANTS ON! We have some nice solar wind condition for belated 4th of July fireworks from Mother Nature herself. Let鈥檚 hope these conditions last a few more hours, but this is an early heads up for U.S. east coast folks to check their northern horizon as soon as it鈥檚 dark!
Mackinac Bridge views from St. Helena Island. Was quite beautiful to watch a storm pass! @PureMichigan @UPTravel #upperpeninsula #michigan #Stormhour #miwx #summer

Happy 4th of July! Mine started with an aurora chase that turned into a wildlife session! He looks so lovely against the Milky Way core! #astrophotography #wildlife @PureMichigan @UPTravel @NatGeo

Was able to see some Aurora tonight! It seems to be in a convection pattern, so waiting for these brakes has been a test of patience. #spacewx #aurora #northernlights @Vincent_Ledvina @TamithaSkov

How's the flies up north? Lol.... Bad. #june #upperpeninsula #michigan

We are officially in the high-speed part of it. At least we had them for a bit. Periodic stop storming should be expected. Of course, keep an eye on your weather! #spacewx #spaceweather #solar #Auroraborealis

Looks like our coronal hole high speed stream made it. Decent IMF. Will see how this pans out! #spacewx #solarwind #northernlights.
