'This is my 14th aurora on camera this year, which I find incredible considering I had never believed I could get anything from here a mere year ago!'Įven farther south, Jure Atanackov photographed red auroras from Ljubljana, Slovenia. 'Today brought yet another photographic aurora here in the southeast of England at latitude +51N,' reports Jamie McBean of Herne Bay, Kent, UK. Photographic auroras (visible to the camera, but not the eye) descended to mid-latitudes. 'It was quite a lightshow, wow!' he says. 'I didn't have much hope of seeing anything, when suddenly the sky exploded,' says Mats Olsson, who sends this picture from Hindås in the south of Sweden: 25th storm, auroras were observed across northern Europe, visible to the naked eye despite nearly full moonlight. CME alerts: SMS TextĪt the apex of the Nov. 26th, delivering a glancing blow that could extend the storming through the weekend. The impact sparked 15 hours of geomagnetic storming-mostly G1 (Minor), but with an interval of G2 (Moderate). 28, 2023, as a show of thanks for years of service and hope for future daisies:ĬME IMPACT SPARKS GEOMAGNETIC STORM: Arriving earlier than expected, a CME struck Earth's magnetic field on Nov. Until then, we will maintain AIM's iconic 'daily daisy,' frozen at Feb. There may be some hope of a recovery as AIM's orbit precesses into full sunlight in 2024. As a result AIM is offline, perhaps permanently. What happened to NASA's AIM spacecraft, which has been monitoring NLCs since 2007? Earlier this year, the spacecraft's battery failed. As the season progresses, these dots will multiply in number and shift in hue from blue to red as the brightness of the clouds intensifies. For the rest of the season, daily maps from NOAA 21 will be presented here:Įach dot is a detected cloud. An instrument onboard NOAA 21 ( OMPS LP) is able to detect NLCs (also known as 'polar mesospheric clouds' or PMCs).

The first clouds were detected inside the Arctic Circle by the NOAA 21 satellite. The northern season for NLCs began on May 26th. Solar wind flowing from this small coronal hole could reach Earth on Nov. Switch to: Europe, USA, New Zealand, Antarctica Neutron counts from the University of Oulu's Sodankyla Geophysical Observatory show that cosmic rays reaching Earth are slowly declining-a result of the yin-yang relationship between the solar cycle and cosmic rays.
