#northernlights are visible down to mid-latitudes in central Europe due to the recent #solarstorm impact, despite positive Dst (around +34) and relatively low Newell coupling (around 2-3) image credit: foto-webcam.eu

#solarstorm update - a strong shock (likely flank hit) has arrived at Earth around 7 PM UT 💥 Real-time solar wind data for plasma temperature/speed at L1 is currently unrealiable, but modeling suggests an arrival speed of about 1000 km/s. Bt is currently around 30 nT, Bz is intermittently negative.

Over the weekend our story on new papers on AI 🤖usage for improving #solarstorm ☀️💨 images and their detection by @maikebauer.bsky.social and @lelouedecj.bsky.social has been featured on national Austrian TV (ORF2) and radio (Ö1) (both german) TV on.orf.at/video/142878...
