Tonight a big solar storm hit the earth, showing aurora at least as far south as Northern Africa. I’m at ‘RACA’, a Belgian astro camp and took this picture with night mode on my Pixel7 phone. The main show lasted well over an hour and traces are still visible now, several hours after the start!

    It’s crazy that in just a couple of months I was able to witness a total eclipse and then aurora borealis due to a solar storm.

    Is anything else expected to happen this year?

    Very pretty, was able to see it here too, should still be possible next evening too, depending on the conditions.
    Next even bigger flare is already on the way again, lets see how much material it brings.
