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.
