Details:
This was the 2nd major geomagnetic storm of 2024 and this aurora event did not disappoint. The event was on a par with the May 10th event having an overhead aurora corona; a constant green arc (for hours) with red and purple curtains and even an orange (which I understand is a visual mixing of Oxygen elements at different altitudes, i.e. combining of the colours red and green). This aurora did not have any blue (Nitrogen) colours unlike the May 10th event. This was indeed an historic event with (much like the 10th May event) a crystal clear sky, minimal impact of light from the low hanging moon and oodles of multi coloured aurorae for all of the UK to enjoy.
