Aurora Webcam
Updated every minute

The real-time aurora and blue-sky camera system is developed by Misato Observatory in collaboration with Swedish Institute of Space Physics. The camera is installed on the roof of Abisko Mountain Station.

Viewing tips
The picture you see is an all-horizon hemispherical view. This is what you would see if you were lying on the ground with your feet pointing to the south and looking up in the sky. UTC stands for Universal (Greenwich Mean) Time. Local time is for example in central Europe UTC+1 or Japan UTC+9.
