Aurorasaurus says someone in my area reported seeing aurora, I rushed out but I did not see. Perhaps there is too much light in my neighbourhood.
I did see a lot more stars than usual so that was nice. I recognized the W constellation (as I call it).

“Auroras, sometimes called “northern lights” or “southern lights," are mesmerizingly beautiful. To scientists, auroras are also the visible manifestation of the solar wind - the flow of charged particles from the Sun - interacting with the magnetosphere of the Earth. Help track auroras around the world with the Aurorasaurus project! Each verified report of an aurora serves as a valuable data point for scientists who model these phenomena…”
