The solar maximum is supposed to be sometime next year or 2026. I'm so excited for these storms to get worse. Friday's storm taught me that I can locally catch a vivid off-peak aurora at that severity using 0.3% of the exposure time previous ones required. Anything worse and I can really plan out the perfect photo of one over the Rockies, maybe with the full milky way in the same shot.

It looks like it cuts off the explanation. Can someone who can load Twitter properly tell me what the explanation is claimed to be?

It's ionospheric propagation solar flares make ionosphere more reflective.
