aurora
This is my best photo of the #aurora last night. It was just after I parked and set up the camera. I think this was near the peak at that location, because 5 minutes later it wasn't as good. As a result, my best photo has those annoying power lines in it.
Nikon D750, Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G
24mm, f/2.8, 5 seconds, ISO 2000, manual exposure & focus

What a sight! The Northern Lights were clearly visible in the skies above Göttingen last night. Here are some shots captured by MPS Göttingen employees. Enjoy!
And thanks to everyone for sharing!

We couldn't have hoped for a better advertisement for this year’s public lecture series than last night's spectacular show of northern lights!
The talks will deal with all the exciting aspects in the fiery relationship between the Sun and the Earth (in German). So if you want to learn more about the Sun, the aurora borealis, the dangers of solar storms, about space weather forecasting and more, join us for
"Im Feuerwerk der Sonne" https://www.mps.mpg.de/im-feuerwerk-der-sonne
The series kicks off with the first talk by Sami Solanki on Thursday, 12 February 2026 at 19:00h in the auditorium at MPS Göttingen (OSM: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/253918007#map=19/51.560282/9.948555)

More #Aurora pics, a few moments ago
The lights of Stornoway can be seen across the Minch in one pic (as well as my finger over the lens)
Already saw a photo of aurora in North Carolina, so this storm is stronger than forecast!
The #aurora right now is amazing. It's like a 360 degrees green and red fog.
Go outside if you can :-)
Polarlichter über Göttingen.
Überwältigend irgendwie.

"G4 (Severe) Geomagnetic Storm Watch for 20 January UTC-Day" by NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center SWPC - G4 (Kp=8) geomagnetic storm conditions forecast for January 20 0600-0900 UTC, favoring tonight in the Americas for aurora viewing. https://www.spaceweather.gov/news/g4-severe-geomagnetic-storm-watch-20-january-utc-day #NOAA #SpaceWeather #CME #Aurora #AuroraBorealis #AuroraAustralis
New version of my time lapse of the northern lights above Göttingen on the evening of January 20, 2026 (one day after the major show). 74 individual images first reduced in size, then contrast enhanced and brightness reduced, then combined into an animation. 15-minute sequence.
I'm a bit embarrassed at myself because I just want to keep playing this over and over and relive those magic moments 😬

As a child the forest was my sanctuary. It was adventure. It was calmness. It was discovery. It was fantasy. It was safety. It was connection.
Not much has changed in five decades.
