Was October 27, 2026 the northern lights visible in Ashburn?
NO
No — the Kp index is 2.67, far too quiet for aurora to reach Washington's latitude.
Why
- Kp 2.67 at 03:00 UTC, no geomagnetic storm
- Aurora needs roughly Kp 7 for the northern US
- Ashburn sits near 39°N, well south of the aurora oval
