Northern Lights Illuminate Skies Across the Globe.
TL;DR Summary
Skywatchers in Europe, Asia, and North America were treated to a widespread display of the northern and southern lights, also known as auroras, on Sunday night due to a severe geomagnetic storm caused by a coronal mass ejection from the sun. The storm persisted for about 12 hours and was almost twice as strong as the one that brought auroras to lower latitudes in March. The auroras were visible even in southern Arizona and California, and some photographers were lucky enough to capture both the lights and a meteor.
