The year begins with a magnificent aurora borealis, visible in Charente: have you seen it? Do you have photos?

Pink, red, purple at nightfall. A phenomenon that we see more when we are close to the polar circle than at our latitudes. Under the action of solar storms, the excited atmosphere lights up. When we are in Lapland, these auroras appear rather greenish but with the roundness of the Earth, from France, we only see the upper part, red.

The editorial team advises you

At least twice in 2024, Charente has already benefited from these astonishing Northern Lights. Last April and October. CL had received a shower of photos, each more beautiful than the last.

In Saint-Groux, Tiphanie Millac was in the front row this January 1st in the evening. She took out her camera “between 6:50 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.,” she explains.

Hélène Gingast, the mayor of Fléac, was one of the first to share her photos on January 1.
