SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM IN PROGRESS:

https://spaceweather.com/

Arriving earlier than expected, a CME hit Earth's magnetic field today, April 23rd, at 1737 UT. The impact sparked a severe G4-class geomagnetic storm with auroras in Europe sighted as far south as France. The storm is still going on and could produce auroras over the USA after nightfall. Aurora alerts: SMS Text.

"My pulse is still racing!" says Heiko Ulbricht, who watched the aurora show from Saxony, Germany. "There were bright green spots dancing across the sky all the way up to the zenith." This is what he saw:

"I still can't breathe," he says. "This was a display not to be forgotten."

The auroras were so bright, they could be seen even from brightly-lit urban areas. Thomas Hunger sends this report from Berlin, Germany: "I run Northern Lights tours in Tromsø, Norway, but would have never dreamt of seeing auroras from my home town of Berlin. I stepped on the balcony and enjoyed a sight that in a city of 4 million inhabitants might just have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

Tomasz Adam had a similar experience in Kraków, Poland: "I saw auroras for the first time in my life," he says. "My photo might not look like much, but I took it from Kraków - one of the most light polluted cities of Poland."

Looks great, we have the Northern lights.

I know the priests of Greta would have you believe climate change is all your fault and that pole shifts, and weak magnetospheres are harmless and have no impact.

But the weaking of our planet's magnetosphere which is estimated to have started around the time of the industrial revolution. Does allow excessive cosmic rays such as cosmic carbon 14 to enter our atmosphere which rapidly oxidizes into Co2.

Can you imagine the panic when people eventually find out it's their fault and there isn't a damn thing they can do about it?

Quote:

Ancient Earth’s Weakened Magnetic Field May Have Driven Mass Extinction. When our planet’s magnetosphere nearly disappeared 565 million years ago, it may have almost taken all life with it

Enjoy the northern lights in places never before seen there will be more of them in the years to come.
