Dlaczego warto instalować apki spoza googlowego sklepu, albo uzywać ? Otóż zainstalowałem sobie apkę do zarządzania volvo żonby i po wejściu na YT pierwsza reklama jaka się wyświetliła, to była reklama volvo.

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.

New version of my time lapse of the northern lights above Göttingen on the evening of January 20, 2026 (one day after the major show). 74 individual images first reduced in size, then contrast enhanced and brightness reduced, then combined into an animation. 15-minute sequence.

I'm a bit embarrassed at myself because I just want to keep playing this over and over and relive those magic moments 😬

The night sky above a city with bright lights in buildings and on roads. Above the city scape, the starry sky is lit up by dancing aurora in green, red and pink colors. There is a green glow towards the horizon and red and pink vertical streaks higher above, overall slowly moving from right to left (east to west, with the view being to the north). The sky also crawls with planes and their contrails.

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.

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

Orange turns to red, acid an acid green glow rising
Suddenly sky near the horizon seemed to be ripping, leaking an acid line.

Next bunch of Jan19 pictures for : 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.

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.

Next part of 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

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.

Polarlichter an der Elbe in Hitzacker









Dieses Bild zeigt eine weitere beeindruckende Perspektive desselben Himmelsphänomens in einer ländlichen Flusslandschaft. Die Szene im Detail: Himmelsfarben: Der Nachthimmel ist zweigeteilt; ein breites, leuchtend grünes Band der Aurora schwebt direkt über dem Horizont, während der obere Teil des Himmels in ein tiefes Violett und Magenta getaucht ist. Sternenhimmel: Über der gesamten Szenerie erstreckt sich ein klarer Sternenhimmel, wobei links oben ein dichteres Sternenband (möglicherweise ein Teil der Milchstraße) erkennbar ist. Zentrales Motiv: Ein einzelner, kahler Baum steht im Zentrum vor der leuchtenden Aurora und bildet einen starken Kontrast zum farbigen Himmel. Vordergrund: Die Wiese im Vordergrund ist teilweise noch mit Schneeresten bedeckt. Rechts befindet sich ein dichter Strauch, der durch eine künstliche Lichtquelle (vermutlich eine Taschenlampe oder Straßenlaterne) warm angeleuchtet wird. Hintergrund: Im Mittelgrund fließt ruhig ein Fluss, an dessen gegenüberliegendem Ufer die dunklen Silhouetten weiterer Bäume und Büsche zu sehen sind.

Landed back in Evenes Airport just as the last hint of orange was fading to the south. And a massive aurora dancing across the scene. Chaos ensues on the tarmac.

Got to the car to find it iced over like a wedding cake. Was 90mins before we got home, got changed and headed out to shoot the aurora storm.

That was 5 hours ago. It's just wave after wave. Coronas. Ribbons. Green. Red. Purple sometimes. Mostly pretty gentle here in the north during these storms. Well, depending on what you're used to!

I'm so tired. But a good tired.

Had a quick look at the downloads off one camera. It's all a bit intense really.

Gestern habe ich keine gesehen und war ganz überrascht von den vielen Bildern aus Deutschland. Heute ging es bei mir in 🇧🇻 schon in der Dämmerung los und ich wurde nicht enttäuscht. So stark und rot habe ich die seit August noch nicht gesehen.

Blick gerade nach oben. Ein breiter, langer Beam direkt über mir.
Über das Wasser fotografiert, am Himmel sind zwei streifen, der rechte y-förmig in den Farben grün, gelb lilaisch.
Noch mehr grün gelb rötliche aurora über dem Fjord.

over Europe!

We're currently experiencing a strong geomagnetic storm, which caused a stunning auroral display all over Europe last night. This time-lapse was captured by our colleague Stefan Ströbele over our headquarters in Garching near Munich.

I thought the Aurora was going to be a bust tonight, but right as I was getting ready to leave it turned into quite the show! Got these great pictures. Was 100% worth braving the 60mph gusts and freezing temps. I was up at crown point overlooking the Columbia river from the Oregon side. Pretty good for only a 30-minute drive outside of Portland.

Here we go! I really doubled down on the filter on the second photo. A bit of cloud about.

Same scene but the colours of the aurora are more saturated

Went to the cabin by truck for the first time this year. The wind picked up and we narrowly avoided getting stuck.

But a very fast coronal mass ejection sparked a G4 solar storm which I think is waning now. We stepped out to very bright rare pink aurora. It also extended north of us, which is unusual. Here is an iPhone shot.

alert for

I've been told by an aurora-watching friend that if current conditions hold, an aurora should be visible in Adelaide on the horizon approximately an hour after sunset tonight.

Same for Souuthern NZ, Victoria and SW WA.

Enjoy!

Already saw a photo of aurora in North Carolina, so this storm is stronger than forecast!
