Northern Light above Averbode

As I was still sick and dragging myself towards bed, I checked one more time my iPhone and saw about 50 messages... when opening the first message it was clear... there was northern light visible. I took my iPhone and Nikon and yes... red and green colors in the sky.

My images of aurora in Iceland. These were caused by the equinox storms and were visibble over a couple of days.

Aurora Iceland

With a Kp 4 (or was it more?) we could observe polarlight in Iceland. Observation was done in Hellissandur near the Coast. Sky cleared up but with high clouds. Polarlight was visible as from 22h but kept going for a couple of hours. A certain moments the entire sky was colored green. Picture taken by my daughter with iPhone. So more pictures to come.

Aurora or Northern Light visible from Averbode (Belgium)

Sunspot AR3664 is very active and is creating ongoing CME 's. This evening Kp went from 7 to 8 and even 8.75. So good chance for Northern Light... and yes it was there. At certain moments the phenomen was even visible with the naked eye... how cool.
