re: Solar storm January 2012 and auroras

On January 2012, skywatchers in the northern hemisphere were rewarded with amazing displays of aurora. The cause of these displays was a geomagnetic storm originating from solar activity on the 19th of January, produced visible aurorae throughout the northern hemisphere and viewers as far south as northeast England had great auroral views.
It has been lovely to watch these. In some nights they have been visible even at light pollution / city area.
Some pictures around the world:
