I did not see the spectacular solar storm last month. It turns out I was wrong inferring from my failure that there was no auroral display visible in Belfast. A week or so ago I was chatting with a fellow who worked for me in two different companies over the course of perhaps eight years… and found that not only did he see an auroral display – he photographed it!
I hope for the sake of his server the Samizdata effect is not quite so dire as the Reynolds Effect…
Wow, spectacular indeed! Great photos!
Stunning, and it’s interesting to wonder how people would interpret events like these before science could explain them.
