US · Published Mar 24, 2026
A strong G3 geomagnetic storm caused auroras to be visible in North America, Europe, and Australia.
The storm was triggered by coronal mass ejections and fast solar wind, as reported by NOAA.
Stunning images and videos were captured from locations including Fairbanks, Alaska, Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Reykjavik, Iceland.
G3 geomagnetic storm causes spectacular auroras
A significant G3 geomagnetic storm has resulted in spectacular auroral displays visible across the globe, extending far beyond their usual polar regions. Triggered by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and fast solar wind streams, this event illuminated skies in North America, Europe, and even Australia. The NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) reported heightened geomagnetic activity, leading to widespread sightings of both the aurora borealis and aurora australis. Observers in locations like Fairbanks, Alaska; Cheyenne, Wyoming; and Reykjavik, Iceland, captured breathtaking images and videos, showcasing the dynamic movements and brilliant colors of the auroras.
