A warm solar force triggered a fulgurous show of colourful auroras crossways various parts of the US. The mesmerising views were captured by people and shared on social media, with many expressing that it was their first time seeing the northern lights.
“Witnessed Northern Lights for the first time,” an individual wrote as they posted a video. The clip captured the bright green-hued aurora in the night sky.
“It’s getting stronger. The palm tree is a reminder that I’m in Florida… and this is NOT normal.”
“Northern lights in Northern Mississippi. You can see them with the naked eye.”
“This is the most impressive I've seen the Northern Lights. And the only time I've been able to see it so clearly with my naked eye.”
Auroras are caused when energised particles from the sun interact with the Earth's upper atmosphere. The electrically charged particles excite the gas atoms and molecules in Earth’s atmosphere, generating auroras.
The colours of the auroras are determined by the gases that the particles are hitting upon entering the atmosphere. The most common colour of the aurora is green.
Although comparatively less frequent, during intense solar activity, some of the dazzling lights also appear red, according to Space.
The other combination includes blue and purple, which is less common. The rarest types of hues in auroras are yellow and pink. It forms when red auroras mix with green or blue ones.
