Happy New Year!
Auroral activity extrapolated from NOAA/POES is displayed on the Web. “Instruments on board the NOAA Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite (POES) continually monitor the power flux carried by the protons and electrons that produce aurora in the atmosphere.” Northern and Southern pole maps show the breadth of the current auroral zone, especially interesting to watch when there are solar disturbances.
