Details:
A GEOMAGNETIC STORM IS BREWING: NOAA has issued a G1-class geomagnetic storm warning for the hours ahead. Data from NASA's DISCOVR spacecraft suggest that a crack is opening in Earth's magnetic field, allowing solar wind to pour into the magnetosphere. This could trigger geomagnetic unrest around the poles and fuel a display of Arctic auroras.
All these forecasts came out and how! Wow! It all started around midnight (Finnish time) and despite the existing clouds there were wonderful displays to admire. It gave some kind of 3D-effect. Around 03:30h. the auroras became invisible because the daylight became too strong.
