It was seen in France and Switzerland today, even if they are not colored in on the map, so it could be seen outside the main areas.

Also - there is green over the equator - is that intentional?


Does it shift around? It's quite absent in the western US and Canada right now:

Of course, it's still a beautiful sunny warm day too where I am so it'll be 5 hours or so before it's dark enough to see it.


The auroral oval stays roughly the same but the Earth rotates under it.


Cool! That means if it stays stable, it's headed our way on a very clear evening here. Fingers crossed...


There is a 50% probability of aurora borealis over the equator right now according to that website.


That's a really cool website. Very responsive too.


I live in a northern Atlantic country and use it to learn about upcoming storms during storm season, days in advance of my national weather service.


Is it visible from Australia as well?


This is a very cool visulization
