These auroras were quite bright for over a half an hour,
and the climax lasted for nearly 10 minutes, flaming literally all over
the sky. Definitely one of the best shows of the season. Taken by Jani Ylinampa on February 28, 2019 @

GEOMAGNETIC STORMS, TODAY: Minor G1-class geomagnetic storms are underway on Mar. 1st as a fast-moving stream of solar wind buffets Earth's magnetic field. The gaseous material is flowing from a wide hole in the sun's atmosphere--so wide that Earth could remain inside the stream for another 24 to 48 hours.

This is causing minor geomagnetic storms, bright auroras around the Arctic Circle, and vibrations in our planet's magnetic field that amateur scientists can detect using backyard sensors.
This unsettled space weather could continue through March 1st as our planet moves through the unusually wide stream.

Earth's magnetic field is shaking in response to a solar wind stream
A fast-moving stream of solar wind is engulfing Earth today, with speeds near 600 km/s (1.2 million mph).This is causing minor geomagnetic storms, bright auroras around the Arctic Circle, and vibrations in our planet's magnetic field that amateur scientists can detect using backyard sensors.
This unsettled space weather could continue through March 1st as our planet moves through the unusually wide stream.
