🚨🇷🇺Rare Solar Storm Bathes Russia in Northern Lights

Russia witnessed the effects of the largest solar storm in decades.

An aurora borealis was fixed over Russia’s sky with bright green and red colors earlier today.

Visible from Russia’s Far East in Siberia, to the Ural Mountains and North Caucasus, the sky was bathed for its citizens to see.

The rare night-time light show was reportedly spotted in nearby Ukraine, Turkey, Kazakhstan and Georgia, as well as parts of Europe and North America.

🚨🇺🇸NORTHERN LIGHTS ACROSS THE U.S

Want to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights?

Many areas of the United States will experience the first solar storm in decades.

Tips for spotting the best Aurora:

Best View—in high-latitude regions with no cloud cover.

Best Time—an hour or two at midnight.

Best Visibility—depending on location and the exact timing of the storm system.

NOAA: “Auroras could be visible through the weekend.”

🚨RARE STEVE PHENOMENON LIGHTS UP THE SKY FROM SOLAR STORM

A fierce "double" X-class solar flare supercharged the skies, creating the rare STEVE phenomenon—a purple and green ribbon of scorching gas exceeding 5,500°F (3,000°C) that snakes through Earth's magnetosphere.

🚨40-HOUR MAGNETIC STORM HITS EARTH

Planet Earth is about to get rocked by the biggest solar storm in decades.

A sunspot cluster 16x the size of Earth is the source, releasing a wave of charged particles expected to strike our atmosphere tonight.

NOAA:

“The most powerful wave of charged particles is expected to hit Earth’s atmosphere later tonight.”

🚨🇺🇸BREAKING : SEVERE GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH – FIRST IN 19 YEARS

NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center warns of strong solar flares that could cause communication disruptions and increase the visibility of the Northern Lights, issuing the first ‘Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch’ in almost 2 decades.

On a positive note, scientists believe the storm could create stunning auroras visible as far south as Alabama and California.

They’re also closely monitoring potential satellite impacts.
