Many residents of the Rhône and Lyon loved magical and really uncommon spectacles on the night time of 10 to 11 Could 2024: the Northern Lights lit up the sky of the Rhône, the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes area and France.
After a brand new photo voltaic storm, scientists agree on one factor: if we are able to make sure that the chance of seeing the Northern Lights might be excessive on the final minute. Monday 10 Juneand perhaps Tuesday.
A “large” photo voltaic storm.
In line with the scientists, particularly Dr. Tamitha Skov, a “large” photo voltaic storm occurred on the night time of June 7 to June 8, 2024. The scientist depends on NASA fashions to foretell that June 10 might be an auspicious day to see the Northern Lights at our latitude.
“The auroras could possibly be quick and robust, however they would not final very lengthy (…),” she analysed. If the scientific neighborhood first talked about Tuesday 11 June, this date is much less probably given the evolution of the fashions.
Auroras over Lyon?
However the Northern Lights are very troublesome to foretell and uncertainty looms as much as an hour earlier than to come back The movement of photo voltaic particles could resonate with the Earth’s magnetic subject on the night time of 10 to 11 June and trigger northern lights “a minimum of at excessive latitudes”.

This, offered that “the earth’s magnetic subject [soit] in the best configuration,” remembers the scientific mediator Pierre Henriquet, alias Astropierre on social networks. Different scientists are much less optimistic: “A priori nothing like these noticed on Could tenthhowever this stays to be monitored,” wrote Eric Lagadec, an astrophysicist on the Côte d’Azur Observatory.
The anticipated geomagnetic storm is simply stage 2, or average. On Could 11, the geomagnetic storm was stage 5 on a scale of 5 (the primary since 2003). Due to this fact, this night time might not be so favorable for observing the Northern Lights.
To watch and plan your night simply in case, you’ll be able to seek the advice of European Area Company web site within the article “Earth’s Magnetosphere and Radiation Belt”. Dangerous information: the Rhône sky might be cloudy this Monday and Tuesday night.
