Northern lights in Maardu, Estonia

Summary edit

Description
English: In March 2022, there was very high solar activity, which caused me to observe an extremely powerful northern lights on one of the nights of early spring. It is amazing that in our latitudes you can sometimes see such a bright glow even with the naked eye.
Eesti: 2022. aasta märtsis oli päikese aktiivsus väga kõrge, mistõttu nägin ühel varakevadisel ööl ülivõimsat virmalist. Hämmastav, et meie laiuskraadidel võib kohati isegi palja silmaga nii eredat kuma näha.
