The Smile Science Working Team met in Iceland and online last week. 🤝💻

🟩🟥 Wonderful auroras were observed locally at the China-Iceland Joint Arctic Observatory, underlining the importance of the Smile mission science objectives and the links between Europe and China.

The Smile data will indeed provide a unique global view over the northern hemisphere of the impact of such strong solar activity!
