Day Night Band imagery from JPSS satellites, above, processed using CSPP software on data from CIMSS and Monterey Direct Broadcast antennas, show a ribbon of Aurora over southern Canada early on the 1st of January. Activity was much brighter over the western part of North America. The Aurora is visible in part because of the waxing crescent Moon (it was new on 30 December 2024). NOAA-21 Day Night Band imagery over Alaska, below (unfortunately mislabeled as Suomi NPP), shows the peak Aurora initially over the southern part of the State. By the end of the animation however it is farther north.
