TL;DR Summary

Astrophotographer Jeff Dai captured a rare weather phenomenon, aurora curls, in the night sky above Iceland's Kerid Crater, caused by vibrations in Earth's magnetic field from solar wind. The phenomenon, typically invisible, was visible due to specific conditions. Experts believe the curls may be connected to ultra-low frequency waves and solar particles hitting Earth's magnetic field. Aurora displays have become more common due to increased solar activity as the Sun nears its 11-year solar maximum cycle.
