(meteorobs) Auroral display over the Netherlands!



Hi!

We are currently experiencing a very fine and rare auroral display
('northern lights') over Holland. This is very rare so far south (51 degrees
N latitude), and if it continues the coming hours it must be visible from
the US to 45 degrees latitude or even lower. It is going on here now for
more than 2 hours and still continuing: curtains, rays, blood-red  flames up
to 60 degrees in the sky or even higher. Keep your eyes open the coming
hours and emjoy this heavenly show!
This happens only a few times each solar maximum so far south in latitude.
