Overview

• NOAA confirms ongoing G4 geomagnetic storms, making auroras visible across Germany, including Brandenburg, Bavaria, and Schleswig-Holstein.
• Observers in Austria, as well as the UK and Ireland, also reported stunning auroral displays, with clearer visibility in less cloudy regions.
• The phenomenon results from heightened solar activity during the peak of Solar Cycle 25, which has triggered frequent and intense geomagnetic storms.
• Social media platforms, particularly X, were flooded with images and videos from users documenting the vibrant green and violet skies.
• While awe-inspiring, these geomagnetic storms can disrupt satellites, GPS systems, and power grids, prompting continued monitoring by NOAA and NASA.
