✨ Через сильну магнітну бурю у 8 балів сьогодні вночі над всією Україною було полярне сяйво, яке більшість не помітила, бо через обстріли і блекаути було не до розваг.

Полярне сяйво сьогодні також бачили над Західною Європою та Північною Америкою.

Part of the sky glowed purple! It was the now famous night of May 10, 2024, when people over much of the world reported beautiful aurora-filled skies. The featured image was captured this night during early morning hours from Arlington, Wisconsin, USA. The panorama is a composite of several 6-second exposures of the visible sky, with north in the center, and processed to heighten the colors and remove electrical wires. The photographer (in the foreground) reported that the aurora appeared to flow from a point overhead but illuminated the sky only toward the north. The aurora's energetic particles originated from CMEs ejected from our Sun over sunspot AR 6443 a few days before.
