🌌 The Sky Is On Fire Tonight!A major geomagnetic storm is sweeping across our planet, and it’s giving us one of the most spectacular natural light shows of the year—vibrant auroras visible far beyond the polar regions.Tonight, November 13–14, the Earth is being hit by a powerful wave of solar particles released during the strongest solar storm of 2025. When these high-energy particles slam into our magnetic field, they dive toward the poles and collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the atmosphere.These collisions create the intense colors many are seeing tonight:• Green & Yellow → produced by oxygen at lower altitudes• Red & Pink → produced by high-altitude oxygen during very strong storms• Purple & Blue → created by ionized nitrogenThe stronger the storm, the farther south the auroras can stretch—and tonight’s storm is strong enough that people across Canada, Northern United States, and even lower latitudes may catch a glimpse.✨ How to see it:• Go to a dark place away from city lights• Look toward the northern horizon• Give your eyes time to adjust• Capture long-exposure photos for even richer colorsAuroras are unpredictable, powerful, and completely natural—made possible by the constant interaction between the Sun and our planet. Whether you’re watching from your backyard or photographing the skies, tonight is a rare chance to witness Earth’s magnetic shield in action.If the skies are clear where you are, don’t miss it. Nights like this are pure magic.
