No geomagnetic storms? Not a problem. On Saturday, January 4, polar lights green flashes filled the sky Rangasala, Norway.

"What a lovely surprise!" — exclaimed the photographer Gunnar Hildonen, depicting flash.

"I was cleaning the snow from the road when the clouds in the sky dissipated, and her Majesty the Aurora staged a wonderful show. Solar activity was low, so it was a big surprise," — said the photographer.

On 4 January was not really forecasts of the Aurora. Solar wind speed was low, and no geomagnetic activity is not expected. What happened? In the Earth's magnetic field has opened a relatively small crack, which remained open for many hours. Slow-moving solar wind penetrated through it and eventually caused the outbreak of auroras. Also lights were seen in Finland and Iceland.
