One single photo, only 13 seconds, but 12 satellites on it. This fucking space junk is ruining Milky way photography.

Stuttgart mit grüner Aurora im Zenit!!

Jetzt auch auf den ersten Webcams in den Alpen!! #polarlichter

Erste Polarlichter über Deutschland gesichtet! Habt eine erfolgreiche Nacht!

The largest solar radiation storm in over 20 years is now underway.

An S4 severe solar radiation storm is in progress and the last time this level was observed was October 2003.

Potential impacts are expected to be largely confined to space launches, aviation, and satellite operations.

Latest NASA CME model: CME may be FASTER than originally anticipated. Impact is slated for Jan 20 around 1 UT--it's a very fast CME and could deliver strong geomagnetic storming Monday night with auroras visible across mid-latitudes. We'll see what happens over the next 24 hr!

@unwetterfreaks @dpa Ich habe das auch gerade gesehen und war sprachlos. Das Bild wurde an dem Abend auch bei Reddit diskutiert und da sofort einer nahen Veranstaltung zugeschrieben. Dass der Spiegel das trotzdem raushaut, ist unglaublich.

[Space Weather Watch @spacewxwatch]

Last night was pretty crazy. We're expecting another significant CME arrival around 20:00Z today (3:00pm ET) which could enhance the already disturbed geomagnetic field. We could see further periods of strong and severe geomagnetic storm conditions into this evening if so. A great forecast so far!

Time to repost this!

Da strahlen sie - die verschneiten Berggipfel der Alpen. Die Polarlichter tanzen über Mitteleuropa.

What??

[Vincent Ledvina @Vincent_Ledvina]

I have never seen the Bz below -60 nT. This is one of the lowest recorded values in the last twenty years if not the lowest. G4-G5 storming is entirely possible if these conditions can sustain. The aurora will now quickly react to this pressure pulse. Get ready! Webcams will be crucial for following this event closely.

30 minutes until Impact! Too bad that I am on Madeira right now..

[Vincent Ledvina @Vincent_Ledvina]

Major CME impact!

[Vincent Ledvina @Vincent_Ledvina]

This CME is really stunning. In CCOR-1, you can see the blast surrounding the occulting disk in the center in what we call a "full halo." When this happens, if the source region is on the Earth-facing disk, we know the CME is coming at Earth.

@Kachelmannwettr Ich bin gerade etwas nördlich auf Madeira und hier sieht der forecast auch wild aus..

[Vincent Ledvina @Vincent_Ledvina]

Here is the current HUXt model showing two direct hits! The X1.7 CME is projected to impact around Nov 12 at 4 UT. The X1.2 CME is projected to impact around Nov 12 at 15 UT. Please note these are a bit later than the NASA/NOAA predictions. Things could heat up thi week!

@schellenmira B und Island! Teurer als alle anderen.
