About an hour ago, the sky turned blood red over Bavaria, Germany. It's the first time I've ever seen an #Aurora in my life. It was so bright to be easily visible with the naked eye. An absolutely jawdropping experience. 🖖😳✨

The Sun had a massive solar flare eruption from a region facing earth last night around 0400 UTC.
A G4 (Severe) geomagnetic storm watch is in effect for late 2 June.
Detrimental effects on satellites and comm. systems are expected.
Strong auroras, visible in Canada, Europe and the northern half of the U.S. are predicted.
