Night sky tonight (Jan. 22, 2026): Northern Lights odds linger as Moon slides past Saturn
The Met Office says northern Scotland may see auroras tonight as geomagnetic activity from the Jan. 19 solar storm fades, but cloud cover could obscure the display. NOAA forecasts a minor G1 geomagnetic storm with a Kp index peak of 4.67. Australia’s space weather bureau expects mostly quiet conditions, though solar wind remains strong. High-frequency radio signals are running 10–15% below normal.
