GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Arriving a day earlier than expected, a #CME hit #Earth's magnetic field on Sept. 18th. The fast-moving CME triggered a G2-class geomagnetic storm on Sept. 18/19 with bright #auroras around the Arctic Circle. Markus Varik witnessed a "massive powerful outburst" over Tromsø, Norway:
"Last night in Tromsø was simply astonishing," says Varik. "There was no way to prepare ourselves for what we saw."
"I happened to be giving a private aurora tour for two guests, Jose and Kimberly, when the storm erupted," says Varik. "Jose had a plan to propose to Kimberly under the auroras if we were lucky enough to see them. You can guess for yourself, did she say yes?"
