A surprise minor G1 geomagnetic storm took place last night thanks to a prolonged period where the direction of the IMF (Bz) turned southward. Values as low as -12nT were recorded and this caused massive auroral outbreaks at high latitudes. Vidid naked eye auroral displays were seen from locations like Estonia and Scotland. Even sky cams in northern Germany captured some faint red aurora in the distance.
A 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!
