Here in Munich it seems like every celestial night event requires a cloud cover....
Although I think we are too far south for the Aurora.

Last time it came round ( was that July?) I thought it looked rather spooky.

From her back yard. She said her son was as excited as her used to be as a kid. It is a thrill.

What a great stroke of luck that you're far enough north to see them! There's no chance of this for me, here in SoCal.

Congrats!

It also caused a strong space radiation storm. There also were aurora seen in Italy, Greece, Australia, northern India, South Africa, and northern Florida, places that very rarely see aurora, so a very extensive geomagnetic storm.

I wouldn't have been able to see it, although I did see that aurora were seen in Florida. I have always wanted to see visible aurora, and my parents have a house in Montana. Oh, I bet it would be amazing there.
