On September 6, the sun let its presence be felt by unleashing two massive solar flares. The first eruption, classified as an X2.2 flare, the strongest since 2008, occurred at 5:10 a.m. ET. Shortly after, at 8:02 a.m ET, the star spewed out a bigger, and more dramatic, X9.3 flare — the strongest on record since December 2006.

                well i live in Alaska and moving to Canada later on the year but it is pretty common to see the auroras but me and my family call them the northern lights but is very cool thing to witness if your just coming to the area and it is the first time for you to see them.
