On the night of May 10-11, you can marvel at the northern lights in many places in Germany. The reason for this is a solar storm of strength G4. A solar storm of this strength was last observed on Halloween in 2003. Report: Shortly after sunset, we are in the Thuringian-Franconian Slate Mountains. Already at dusk, the sky is glowing red as the first CME ejection directed towards the earth hits the earth's geomagnetic field. After a longer phase of low activity, the second wave arrives around 00 CEST. Now the sky is lit up in the full color spectrum of the northern lights. The mysterious lighters also appear to the south and directly above us. On the way home, we stop again south of Leipzig, where at around 02:45 CEST we can marvel at the northern lights of the 3rd wave, which mainly light up in violet and blue tones.
