How do auroras form, and what causes the colors we see? A 🧵... This is one of the most common questions I get on social media, and one I have received countless times over the past month, so let's dive in together!

Was invited yesterday (for the first time💪) to be on a panel discussing the transition from research to operations and back (R2O2R) in #spaceweather at the #ESWW2024 with @MetOfficeSpace and SIDC Belgium, thanks @SpaceWxRina @KristaMitchy for hosting this nice discussion!

At a minimum of -335 nT Dst on 2024 Oct 11 01:00 UT this storm is now the the 2nd strongest of solar cycle 25. We are still in the magnetic obstacle of what is surely the Oct 9 eruption (the X1.8 flare), and after 8 hours now inside it we expect it to pass Earth in a few hours.

Here is a comparison to all geomagnetic storms in the solar cycles 23-25, with 10-11 October 2024 the blue line at the very right.

The Newell coupling, which can be thought of as a measure of how well the solar wind transfers energy to the magnetosphere, peaked at Oct 11 00:00 UT around 16 times the average value, which is similar to the May 2024 storm.
