🇺🇦 Rare Event: Northern Lights in Ivano-Frankivsk Region, Ukraine

🌈 On the night of December 31, 2024, to January 1, 2025, in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, on Mount Ostry, locals witnessed a rare natural phenomenon — the northern lights. Around 1:30 AM, the northern lights filled the sky with a bright red color, captivating the viewers.

⁉️ Such an event in these latitudes is unusual, as the northern lights are typically observed at higher latitudes, closer to the poles. The cause of their appearance at such low latitudes is likely the magnetic storms triggered by strong solar flares.

🔴 We can speculate that the dominance of red in the aurora across the entire sky may indicate that the northern lights appeared at an unusually low altitude, possibly below 100 kilometers, where oxygen in the atmosphere causes this characteristic hue. This event confirms that magnetic storms can not only shift the auroras in latitude but also lower them to lower altitudes.

😉 Thanks to the intense phase of solar activity, the northern lights are expected to appear even further south than the Arctic Circle, including in the UK, Germany, and Italy.
