The sun spots activity is pronounced this week. May see some good colors of light.

May persist …

A storm in the sun has taken place and if the ejection of particules comes to the earth, then by midweek, we should have enjoyed  opportunities for skyscapes. You’ll have a view of some good Aurora Borealis. Depending also on the Weather in your field of view.

Four colours why?

December night sky

Solar Maximum

Sources are saying that the sun is at solar maximum r. And will continue maybe even in the 2026. The 11-year cycle seems to be not to the minute. Look for more magnetic storms particles going by the Earth, producing Aurora Borealis light effects that you might enjoy.

Northern lights, Canada

Solar maximum continues. Many sources are predicting that there will be more opportunities for solar lights to be seen, photographed and enjoyed as magnetic storms provide

Across northern skies though Sunday…

A light show once again. Some reports say that this phenomenon should go into even 2025-2026 solar maximum that causes more magnetic activity on the sun. Therefore, sending more particles past the Earth and therefore giving better lighting shows as these particles reflect sunlight back into space for our poles.
