Telescopes Radio Telescopes
Can an aurora borealis/australis blind radio/microwave telescopes?
Is a major aurora or solar wind enough of a disturbance to confuse radio telescopes or the like or obscure their view over that area of the sky?
What I mean is, can telescopes that watch the electromagnetic spectrum see much detail in the clouds of ionized particles in the air, or does it appear as a blur? Most importantly, would an aurora or solar wind conceal anything above it that might make similar ion signitures, i.e. reentring meteor or unfriendly missile?
Yes. Auroras reflect radio waves, but only up to 200 MHz or so.
This can be used for communication.
