Strong solar storm
Beautiful auroras over Austria!
This weekend, six striking solar flares caused what was probably the strongest solar storm in years. As a result, auroras will be visible as far as the Alpine region and thus also in Austria.
Numerous images were already shared on social media on Saturday night.
Here is a selection of some of the posts on X (formerly Twitter):
When so-called solar storms reach Earth, particles thrown into space by explosions on the sun can also cause disruption to communication systems.
However, due to the interaction with the Earth's magnetic field, these electrically charged particles of the solar wind mainly cause a significant increase in light activity in the night sky.
