Man, that sounds awesome. I've seen both phenomena in the cockpit, but never at the same time.Plainoasis: I love the brushstrokes: is this a painting or digital? Either way nicely done! @kleptomage What happens is that the Earth got hit by a Large Solar Flare, and the magnetically charged particles hit our magnetosphere. This is what usually occurs with Auroras, but this time the particle density was such that they started hitting in large enough quantities that the resulting aurora was visible so far south. Unfortunately, I missed it myself because of my city's light pollution.
