January 20 — the echo of the solar storm still above us 🌍
Although the main impact of the geomagnetic storm had already passed, Earth remained in a state of heightened activity. The magnetosphere and ionosphere had not yet fully settled after yesterday’s Kp8 — and that was enough for the sky to ignite once again.
The remaining stream of charged solar particles continued to interact with Earth’s magnetic field, giving us another powerful auroral display.
This was no longer just a single spectacle — it was the continuation of a cosmic storm, stretching into another night.

Last night, Earth was struck by a severe geomagnetic storm as the Kp index climbed to 8, placing it in the G4 storm category. This level of solar activity allowed the aurora borealis to push far beyond its usual polar boundaries.
Charged particles from a powerful coronal mass ejection collided with Earth’s magnetosphere, igniting intense auroral displays — with deep reds appearing at higher altitudes and vivid greens dominating the lower layers of the atmosphere.
For many observers, this wasn’t just a light show — it was a direct reminder of how connected our planet is to the Sun.
A silent solar storm, painting the night sky in colors rarely seen at these latitudes.
Moments like this don’t happen often.
And when they do — you look up. 🔥
