The skies over northeastern Italy lit up overnight between November 11 and 12, as a rare geomagnetic storm produced a spectacular aurora borealis visible across the Prealps and mountain regions.
The event, caused by powerful coronal mass ejections from the Sun—one linked to 2025’s strongest solar flare—turned the night sky into a display of pink, red, and green hues.
Experts from the University of Trieste confirmed no health risks, though minor disruptions to GPS and power grids remain possible. We received beautiful photos from Tarvisio and Monte Zoncolan, Friuli Venezia Giulia, by our reader Elisa Scarsini.
