Next part of #aurora photos. Never thought I'd get to witness such a spectacle here. When the IPA (isolated proton aurora) visible in image 2 & 4 took off.... Wow. Words can't describe it. Images are in chronological order, panoramas of 8-12 images shot within 3-8 minutes beginning 21:30 UTC.
If you want to see a video of it: Someone near Stuttgart filmed that bright green burst visible in my last pic in *real time*: https://youtu.be/e19kAuC-6eU

Photos of a frozen over lake on a moonless night. A bright bow of green aurora in front of another red-grewn curtain is mirrored in the ice

Green bow weakening, but a blurp of acid dust blowing of further West like a silent firework. Eastern red intensifies.

Changing location slightly. Just a few greenish spots on that northern colour curtain. Show's over? Ohh, no...

an intensely white and green burst rips open the sky, turning tourquoise before fading. Meanwhile another green bow gnaws its way from West to East on the Northern horizon.

Next bunch of Jan19 #aurora pictures for #FotoMontag: I would have gone home a happy bunny just getting images like the first one. The shock front of CMEs rarely causes the most visually stunning parts of a storm (especially down here in Central Europe). But then the sky cracked like an egg and became a silent concert of color and movement.

a compressed, deep red curtain over an acidic green horizon. Mirrored in the icy chaos of reeds and bushes in an iced over pond

Red curtains and green spots dancing in the Northern sky, all mirrored in smooth ice

These last two images are panoramas of 8-12 single images. 15mm each, covering over 120° of horizon.

Faint aurora bands over a moonlit and snow-covered forest in Fairbanks, Alaska.

Wide nighttime landscape showing a snow-covered boreal forest under a pale, moonlit sky in Fairbanks, Alaska. Low shrubs and uneven snowdrifts fill the foreground, with frost-laden spruce and birch trees rising across the middle of the frame. A single taller tree stands slightly left of center, its branches heavily coated in snow. Above the treeline, faint green aurora bands stretch diagonally across the sky, blending into a soft teal and purple glow. Stars are visible through the aurora, and the moonlight gives the snow a muted silver tone, creating a quiet, subdued winter scene.

The sun has been fizzing with solar flares, some quite large, over the last few days.

This makes aurora at lower latitudes than usual likely.

This prediction from NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center's ENLIL indicates that the largest activity may start tonight New Zealand time, but is likely to peak after the sun rises.

Happy to see the statement on #universityrankings by the International Association of Universities #IAU, the largest and most international university network: https://iau.global/news/iau-note-on-rankings-released. Sort of proud to have played a role in that. Moving away from rankings, step by step. I look forward to seeing similar statements from #LERU, #TheGuild, #AURORA, #YERUN and others. Solidarity among institutions is crucial amidst authoritarianism and commercial caprure.

Panoramas from last week's unreal #aurora event are finally done and will be posted here every #FotoMontag.
Starting with the tame ones, before the show really took off.

photo of a small lake, completely iced over. Dead grass and bushes giving it a wild look.
From behind the horizon an angry orange light is rising, mirrored exactly by the lake's almond shape, making the whole scene look like the eye of Sauron. — photo of a small lake, completely iced over.

Orange turns to red, acid an acid green glow rising

Suddenly sky near the horizon seemed to be ripping, leaking an acid line.

I’ve been after this shot for a very, very long time. Taken on a meandering walk home from the bar.

Some of my favourite moments on camera with the nordlys are not with the fjords or the forests, but just shooting directly up to the sky above us and marvelling at the formations and elegance of these aurora bands.

And in this instance, the moon itself makes a cameo appearance.

Blue sky at night, with an aurora crossing the sky plus the moon shining in the midst of it all.

Photo from yesterday. Pictures from Monday's little Ragnarök rehearsal will take a while, though. Many of those are complex panoramas, some wider than 180°. Takes time that is currently demanded elsewhere.

Front of an old hut on a frozen field. Light trails from a street further away a visible due to long exposure. Above the night sky lit up by a warm coloured rainbow aurora: reds, violets and yellows are dominant.

Looking up at the night sky, with birch trees leaning into view, these stars are somewhat obscured by a coronal aurora.
