Northern Lights in Poland. “Don’t let anyone miss the information”

Astronomy enthusiasts and anyone who appreciates the beauty of the night sky should prepare for an extraordinary sight. On the night of July 30-31 (Tuesday to Wednesday) We can expect the aurora borealis to occur. – The Space Research Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences announced on Monday on social media. The forecast was provided by the institution’s Solar Geophysical Forecasting Center.

– According to the forecasts of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), there is a high probability of a magnetic storm, which will create ideal conditions for observing this amazing phenomenon – said the head of the Solar Geophysical Prediction Center. Luke Tomasik.

Aurora Alert for Poland. “It’s worth looking into”

Magnetic storms can cause aurora at different latitudes – the stronger the phenomenon, the closer to the equator.Lights north“. It may cause temporary problems with navigation operation, among other things.

But this time, the forecast suggests that the aurora borealis may also be visible in Poland. As CBK PAN confirms, “It’s a rare opportunity to see these colorful lights dancing in our sky, so it’s worth taking a moment to look up.”

As he explained on social media Carol Wojcickiastronomy publisher and author of the blog “With Your Head in the Stars”, There are currently three active regions on the Sun. Over the past two days, they had generated a series of eleven powerful M-class flames.

“This morning at 4.36, one of the regions generated the most powerful flare ever recorded, X1.57,” said Wójcicki. “Some of them sent coronal mass ejections (CMEs) centrally towards Earth, which should reach us on Tuesday.” He added that there are many indications that several of these CMEs along the Sun-Earth path will catch up with each other and will deconstruct: waves of high-energy particles will absorb each other and create a single powerful shock wave.

Wójcicki made it clear that it was hers. The impact on Earth is expected to produce a G3-class magnetic storm.which means that the aurora borealis occurs in the middle latitudes, including all over Poland.

This time, no one should miss the information about the approaching aurora borealis. – The astronomer appealed.

The geomagnetic activity index (Kp) forecast indicates that The actual storm will begin Tuesday before noon.When its value exceeds 5, it reaches its peak in the afternoon (and Kp then reaches 7), and the phenomenon continues until the night from Tuesday to Wednesday. Tomorrow evening and on the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, the probability of seeing the aurora borealis in Poland will be the highest.
