Prepare for the Aurora!

Get ready, Italians! The night between October 10 and 11, 2024, promises to deliver an awe-inspiring display of auroral activity, which is set to be visible from various locations in Italy. A live stream has been organized for those eager to witness this celestial phenomenon in real-time.

What Causes This Phenomenon?

This heightened auroral activity is due to recent tumultuous events on the Sun, including significant coronal mass ejections that have ruffled our atmosphere. According to forecasts from NOAA, the Kp index—a measure of global auroral activity—could soar to an impressive 8.3 during this period, signaling the potential for G4 geomagnetic storms. The timing aligns perfectly, as these conditions are expected to unfold during the evening in Italy.

When and Where to Watch?

The live feed is slated to commence on October 10 at 20:30 UTC, showcasing the skies from a camera positioned at latitude +41.5. If the auroras mirror the intensity experienced last May, viewers are in for an unforgettable visual treat.

Stay Updated!

However, as with all natural phenomena, predictions can change. The organizers assure that they will adjust the timing of the live feed to align with any updates in solar activity.
