Sky watchers across the UK, Europe and North America were treated to a rare spectacle as the Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, made a stunning appearance. The event was triggered by one of the strongest geomagnetic storms in recent years, which hit Earth and led to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issuing a rare solar storm warning. Excited onlookers from across these regions shared captivating images of the lights, painting the night sky with mesmerising hues . The aurora borealis was visible in various locations making it the best time to watch Northern lights and people took to social media to share pictures. Geomagnetic storms increase chances of witnessing Northern Lights, especially in regions where such sightings are rare. While these natural light displays are a treat for sky watchers, solar storms can potentially impact infrastructure, including satellites and power grids. Solar Storm Hits Earth: ‘Extreme’ G5 Geomagnetic Storm Reaches Earth, May Disrupt GPS, Power Grids.
