Astronomical phenomena and events in Poland

Overview

In October 2026, a solar coronal mass ejection reached Earth, creating conditions for a potential aurora borealis over Poland. Astronomer Karol Wójcicki noted that satellites at the L1 point measured strong parameters following a plasma cloud released by the Sun. If magnetic storm conditions persisted, the aurora was expected to be highly likely in northern Poland, with potential visibility in central and southern regions.

Additionally, various astronomical educational events have been held in Poland. These include a cosmic-themed event in Kobylin featuring a lecture by astronomer Jakub Tokarek and the display of an 8-kilogram meteorite. Other initiatives include a photography exhibition of celestial bodies and a scheduled ‘Train to the Stars: Eclipse Mission’ led by Karol Wójcicki to prepare participants for an upcoming solar eclipse.
