Auroral Activity Maps

Aurorae are in the news due to the recent coronal mass ejection. The plots on this page show the current extent and position of the auroral oval at each pole, extrapolated from measurements taken during the most recent polar pass of the NOAA POES satellite. "Center time" is the calculated time halfway through the satellite's pass over the pole.
