Here is a solar flare.
Wish we had some now so we could get some great dx in
Don't confuse solar flares with sunspots. Solar flares destroy radio propagation while sunspots enhance it. I have been on the air when a solar wind stream swept past Earth and it was eerie. Signals on all bands everywhere just nose-dived in a matter of seconds.
these were taken by nasa and was posting them as they described photos.
The beauty our naked eye never sees from above.
I have nasa's app on my pc n see new photos like this daily
I'm a big Aurora fan myself...
I personally go here to check conditions - this is from Finland "Lapland" - they have a live Webcam feed.
This was taken at 23:57 UTC yesterday - as you can see they have "daylight" but not by much - it would be there 1PM or so their local time - you can just look up to see it and immediately know your skip conditions may be active for communication.
What is nice is they have a scrollable "log album" so you can scroll back to see these and other snapshots of their sky - clouds or day - or night - if you look up in the upper right corner you'll see the 3 stars of the curved asterism, "The Big Dipper" from Ursa Major.
So the link is in the photo and caption above - check it out if you need to see nearly immediate conditions of aurora...changes moment by moment.

Thats cool handy andy. Nice to see interests about above us.
I got 2 apps actually.1 shows when sattalites pass over my viewing area and also lets me know if i can pick up their 2 meter broadcasts to earth.oddly my cheepie baofang n nygoya antenna has picked them up.but antenna must point away from you not up as their signal comes to earth in a spirle not straight down

This is when 2m and 6m will go nuts. VHF aurora comms can be fickle but it is amazing what a small amount of power will do.
The snapshot is from the movie 2010 - but is relevant today for even the NASA JUNO satellite sends us data that although the "Discovery" and "Kirchiev" as manned missions of recovery in a Movie - the effects and the data sent back by their predecessors like Pioneer, Mariner, Voyager - probes - gave us details and resolution that even allowed us to see such worlds presented as actual fact...
I just got a message from the Landlord...
Need to know more about what that means?
Watch the Movie!
All great pic's & info ! Space has always fascinated me ! Maybe because back in the 60's the Nuns would bring a TV in the classroom so we could watch Landings/Launches & got me out of school work ( Just Kidding ) I did watch the Space Station fly over recently . I should have brought my good camera , all I had was my phone & the pic didn't come out well .
I am also a fan of good amines' like this clip from "Titan AE" - it's fictional but who would not want to fly a spaceship thru a Nebulous cloud?
It's got a good soundtrack too.
Even though it's clipped from another language - The Urge, It's My Time To Fly is sung in English and original form...best part of the whole thing...
