Was October 22, 2026 the aurora visible tomorrow in Columbus?
NO
No — Kp is 3 with no geomagnetic storm, far short of the Kp 7 Ohio would need.
Why
- Planetary K-index 3.0 at 03:00 UTC; storm level: none
- Kp 7 needed to see aurora at ~40° latitude like Columbus
- Waxing gibbous moon, 87% lit, would wash out faint glow
