Bavaria's sky lights up: Northern lights enchant at dawn!
In the early morning hours of November 12, 2025, many early risers in parts of Bavaria experienced a colorful natural spectacle in the sky. Northern lights, created by strong solar storms, lit up the Alps between 4 and 5 a.m. These extraordinary light displays could also be observed in Lower Bavaria. Loud BR.de Auroras are the result of mass ejections of charged particles from the sun that penetrate the Earth's magnetic field and thereby interact with the Earth's atmosphere.
But what exactly is happening in the sky? The colors of the auroras depend on the gas being excited, varying between green and red light from oxygen and violet and blue tones from nitrogen. Appearances range from elegant curtains to spiral-shaped structures, all influenced by the magnetic field lines. Carolin Liefke, deputy director at the House of Astronomy in Heidelberg, emphasizes that there could be further chances of northern lights in the next two nights as a result of another solar storm, although it is difficult to accurately predict this.
Fascination of the northern lights
With a view of the Northern Lights, many amateur photographers enjoy this spectacle. Taking photos with smartphones can often make the colors appear even stronger, as many devices offer special night modes and longer exposure times. So if you have a good view of the north, you should have your camera ready before the clouds move across the sky again.
These magical light displays cannot only be seen in Bavaria. In other parts of Germany and Europe the sky also shines in bright colors Spiegel.de reported. It is therefore worth keeping an eye on the sky wherever the forecast indicates solar storms.
