NOAA's OVATION aurora forecast for both poles, visualized as a rotating globe
Each frame is NOAA's OVATION model — modeled probability of visible aurora for every 1°×1° patch of Earth, driven by real-time solar wind data. The ring shape is real: aurora forms as a band around each magnetic pole, not a blob.
Captured during quiet geomagnetic conditions (Kp 2.3), so both ovals stay tight near the poles rather than flaring toward the equator.
