The Aurora Borealis of May 11th, 2024 💜🌌💚

We stayed up until 4am to see them and it was worth the pain 😭

May 10th/11th This will go down as one of my most favorite nights of my life. I live far enough north that I do get to see them from time to time, but not like this!!

For anyone in northern North America: there is a chance you will be able to see the aurora borealis tonight (the evening of Friday May 10th 2024 through early morning of Saturday May 11th)!

Keep in mind the red part of the first map is just your chance of seeing aurora directly overhead! Anyone north of the red line has a chance of seeing it on the horizon.

So @smile-at-the-stars was wondering if there was an area in the US that experienced both totality and aurora borealis caused by the solar flares earlier this week that will also experience the cicada emergence this summer, and I have nothing more interesting to do right now so I made this map that is definitely not very accurate but a good approximation nevertheless. The accuracy varies within the map because I was filling the counties one by one manually (in https://www.mapchart.net/usa-counties.html) and I had varying levels of patience during this time, so don't come for me in the notes if you spot any mistakes. I might write the code and create a better map later if I feel like it (and if anyone else wants to do so, they are more than welcome). The data for totality comes from an approximation from https://science.nasa.gov/eclipses/future-eclipses/eclipse-2024/where-when/, the aurora borealis data is an approximation from the prediction for naked eye visibility from an ABC10 image based on NWSSWPC predictions for Saturday, May 11th (https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GNTcm3EaMAAhxJy?format=jpg&name=medium is where I found it), and the cicada data is from https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2024/04/24/2024-cicada-map/73414849007/.

So as we can see, there is indeed an area where 2024 will seem like the beginning of an apocalypse.

the thrumming of some great beast

green pink purple shimmering scales

fluffy like fur, and full of stars

pulled across me like a blanket

washing over me like a sound

The most powerful geomagnetic storm in nearly 20 years put on a mesmerising solar light display last night.

Residents in East Kilbride, Overtown, Gartcosh, Lenzie, Motherwell, Airdrie, Bathgate in West Lothian, and Crookston in Glasgow were left bowled over by the natural phenomenon in the skies over their homes.

Beautiful ribbons of multicoloured light were visible with the naked eye over vast swathes of the country.

Hoops and I went to the Point in an attempt to see the Aurora Borealis. We couldn't see anything but there were lots of others there despite it being midnight. It was nice to just sit water-side and look at the city lights on opposite shores. There was someone playing My Honeybee on guitar not far from us.

So my precious baby Deja died around midnight of May 11th and it's been so hard this last day and a half coping with it. She was my first furr child after I had moved out as an adult and it really just feels unfair how I got robbed of more time with her since she wasn't even that old. She suddenly was having issues with her kidneys and because she wasn't eating and was so weak, she choked on her own vomit and passed at the vet.

I already miss her so so much. Nothing feels the same without her around to chirp or blep at me, in fact one of my best posts on this website is literally her bleping. Will have to dig that up at a later point to memorialize it. She was so loved by many and wasn't even aware of it.

However, it is with comfort that she at least passed on the night of the Aurora Borealis. I'd like to think that was her up in those lights. She was such an important part of my life, I can't even think of her as anything less than my life partner, even now in her passing.

I love you, Deja. I hope you're just as loved where ever you are.
