For those that don't know, a large solar storm is occurring this weekend that may allow much of the US to see the northern lights. However, the forecast calls for clouds where I am, and most of the east coast. https://www.space.com/solar-storm-coronal-mass-ejections-mothers-day-weekend-storm-watch
Same ish in the UK, (12h before this post), being outside made a difference so don't watch it behind glass. Light pollution was definitely the biggest factor to visibility.
Yea we had messages from Whales with about the same.
