Re: Solar flares - coronal mass ejections
I am sure that most people think that the light show lasts all night but with my experience it doesn’t. You may get a minute or so at a time. Whilst I was in the middle of Iceland I stopped up most of the night waiting to see the lights, and waited, and waited. Eventually they started, I called the others who where asleep in a hut. By the time they where out of the windowless hut the show had ended.
We did get one more glance ( same trip ) whilst we where in the most northern curry house in the world, in Reykjavik. We saw the common green and the more rare red/purple. It lasted seconds.
This was probably at a low sun spot activity season.
