Colorful celestial spectacle
Northern lights could even be seen over the Schöckl
On Saturday night, many Styrians were mesmerized by the northern lights. They could be seen exceptionally far to the south. There is still a chance of witnessing the colorful celestial spectacle in the coming nights. The reason for this is a solar storm that has the earth firmly in its grip.
The strongest solar storm since 2003 is currently passing over the earth. Although this is causing disruptions to the GPS and power grid in some places, the Northern Lights are being marveled at throughout Austria. This is because they can be seen much further south than usual. Even Styrians were able to witness the celestial spectacle on Saturday night.
It is important to stand in a place with as little light pollution as possible and to look north. The "Steirerkrone" was sent photos from Kumberg (with a view towards Schöckl) and from Hochwechsel, among others. Anyone who missed the chance can still try their luck over the next two nights. Conditions will be perfect again, especially on Monday night.
