On 21 Jan 26, Stonehenge stood beneath the most powerful aurora display in over 20 years. A rare geomagnetic substorm ignited the sky with towering curtains of electric green and emerald, while higher-altitude emissions bloomed into magenta, crimson, and violet — rising like luminous pillars hundreds of kilometers above Earth. As the ancient stones fell into silhouette, scientists and skywatchers alike called it one of the most intense Northern Lights events in decades — a once-in-a-generation alignment of solar energy, atmosphere, and history. A sacred monument. A living sky. A moment the Earth won’t soon repeat.
