Field Notes — November 12
A solar flare hit the upper atmosphere last night, releasing enough energy to ignite a faint red arc across the sky.
It’s called a Stable Auroral Red Arc (SAR) — a quiet, rare glow that forms when charged particles heat oxygen high above Earth.
No storm. No chaos. Just the planet breathing light.
If you caught it, you saw a sign of the Sun’s pulse reaching us in real time.
