This was done for +the first time since January 2005. It was a result of activity of a complex sunspot cluster indicated as NOAA region +3664. Last G4 geomagnetic storm occurred on 23 March same year, while last G5 was in October 2003. +<p>On 10 and 11 May 2024, G5 storm conditions were reached and auroras were seen in latitudes that usually don't see +such activities. I live in a place where a decent G4 storm can cause aurora to be at least seen in the distance, so I +was hopeful... +<p>On the night from Friday, 10 May to Saturday, 11 May, most of the Polish coast was covered in a cozy stratus blanket. +<p>Luckily, Saturday night was clear. Unluckily, the activity died down to G3 and later G0 by the time it got dark +enough. Luckily, I am persistent and managed to get some photos despite that:</p> +<div id="gallery"> +<a href="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-1.jpg"><img src="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-1s.jpg" alt="aurora photo #1"></a> +<a href="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-2.jpg"><img src="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-2s.jpg" alt="aurora photo #2"></a> +<a href="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-3.jpg"><img src="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-3s.jpg" alt="aurora photo #3"></a> +<a href="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-4.jpg"><img src="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-4s.jpg" alt="aurora photo #4"></a> +<a href="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-5.jpg"><img src="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-5s.jpg" alt="aurora photo #5"></a> +<a href="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-6.jpg"><img src="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-6s.jpg" alt="aurora photo #6"></a> +<a href="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-7.jpg"><img src="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-7s.jpg" alt="aurora photo #7"></a> +<a href="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-8.jpg"><img src="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-8s.jpg" alt="aurora photo #8"></a> +<a href="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-9.jpg"><img src="aurora_in_mielno_may_2024-9s.jpg" alt="aurora photo #9"></a> +<style> +#gallery { + display: flex; + flex-wrap: wrap; + justify-content: center; +} +#gallery a { + display: block; + width: 33%; + padding: 2px; + box-sizing: border-box; +} +#gallery img { + width: 100%; + display: block; +} +</style> +</div> +<p>Not the best shots out there, but this is my first time seeing aurora and I'm quite happy about it. +<p>Stormwatch persisted through the Sunday as another CMEs were expected to reach Earth.
