The sun has released a coronal mass ejection and could impact our planet this Thursday, 15 February. Aurora possible on the north coast depending on cloud cover of course! Updates to follow.

Potential Aurora on the north coast this evening as the skies clear and moon sets around 2200, clear dark skies and long exposure photography should be productive. Will be faint visually.

Major fail, and astronomy Ireland are just as bad, dreadful, once in a decade!! No mention of cloud, moon. Rubbish article.
Sensational Aurora Borealis light show can only be seen about once a decade in Ireland

Possibility of some aurora activity tonight and tomorrow. Donegal/mayo tonight as skies clear from the west.
Solar wind speeds continue to increase & the KP is starting to respond. KP=4.33 in 27 minutes. Still predicting G1

It’s highly unlikely. Too much cloud around and the moon is 92% full.
A good chance of catching a glimpse of the northern lights from the north coast on Saturday night. Not guaranteed though. Best chance - away from light pollution.

It’s a very clear moonless night. We haven’t seen many of these in a long time. Well worth the effort of long exposure photography on the northcoast tonight.
In 28 minutes the Aurora Borealis should be Active. (4 Kp)

Major aurora storm continues with figures similar to the famous st Patrick days storms of recent years. 90% moon not ideal!
In 46 minutes aurora predicted at severe storm level (Kp=7.33). Strong geomagnetic storm G3 expected.
Bz=-18.8 nT.
