Catch my recent space weather forecast update on the ongoing solar storm when it was first hitting Earth.  Recorded live on Ham Nation (on TWiT.TV) on 07-06-2016. Since the storm hit, aurora has been seen all over Canada, in the upper USA, and also in Tasmania and New Zealand.  Original broadcast is on TWiT TV: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFzoZn1Us1s

None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of those who have provided all of this data for public use. 

Images c/o NASA/ESA/CSA (most notably the superb SDO, SOHO, ACE, STEREO, CCMC, JPL & DSN teams, amazing professionals, hobbyists, institutions, organizations, agencies and amateurs such as those at the USAF/HAARP, NICT, NOAA, USGS, Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada, Intellicast, Catatania, rice.edu, wisc.edu, sonoma.edu ucalgary.ca, rssi.ru, ohio-state.edu, solen.info, and more. Thanks for making Space Weather part of our every day dialogue.
