The sun surprised people who were under a clear sky in Northern Europe with beautiful New Year's Eve Aurora Borealis. Kp above 5 - at times above 6! The "Australis" variant continues in Australia and New Zealand right now with the Kp index fluctuating around 6 and 7!

Happy new year! Picture by an anonymous app user in Nordland, Norway!

Some of the #auroraaustralis pictures uploaded by app users down-under the first day of 2025!

Every green dot on this globe represents an observation of #northernlights at some point during the last few hours. This year started with a bang!

North-America: If you are lucky, the geomagnetic storm will last for some more hours so that you can have some entertainment after sunset. #NorthernLights visible in Central Europe. Every dot on the globe represents one reported observation. Photo: Vestland, Norway
