An X5-class solar flare erupted from the sun towards Earth yesterday and it hit the magnetosphere with a wallop overnight. The result was a severe geomagnetic storm. The aurora was so bright, it was visible through the clouds. Here's 3-hours, squished into 60s, of what you may have missed. Enjoy 🔭🧪☺️
