Once again, the night sky glowed an eerie ruby red in the north, alit from the intense bombardment of protons in the upper atmosphere from a solar outburst. This one from a coronal hole in the Suns photosphere, and the Kp index soared for over 2 hours to 6.8 or so. This is pretty low for seeing aurora in Arizona, but this proves it is possible. We observed the ruddy glow visually as well. The entire northern sky from Ursa Major to east past Cassiopeia was immersed in the Auroral embers.
