The coronal hole solar wind stream packed a punch last Monday as we predicted and caused two 3-hour periods where we reached the moderate G2 geomagnetic storm threshold. The northern lights put on a grand display and were seen from latitudes as low as the Netherlands, Germany and Poland in Europe and the southern lights were seen from Victoria, Australia! Below we have a small selection of images made during the past few days. The header image used in this article was made by Carita Holmberg from Grisslehamn, Sweden.
Current data suggests there is a slight possibility for aurora to appear at the following high latitude regions in the near future
NuukA lot of people come to SpaceWeatherLive to follow the Sun's activity or if there is aurora to be seen, but with more traffic comes higher server costs. Consider a donation if you enjoy SpaceWeatherLive so we can keep the website online!
