Aurora Seen in Atlanta Area
Northern Lights Make Rare Appearance
A stunning aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, was visible in the Atlanta area around 10:30 p.m. on Monday. The display was caused by a severe geomagnetic storm, which is a result of an unusually strong solar storm. The aurora borealis is typically only visible in the northernmost regions of the Earth, so its appearance in the Atlanta area is a rare event.
The purple, red, and green displays from the aurora borealis are caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's magnetic field. The particles are drawn to the magnetic poles, where they collide with atoms and molecules in the atmosphere, causing them to emit light.
The aurora borealis is a beautiful sight, and it is a reminder of the power of the sun. The storm that caused the aurora is预计to continue for several days, so there is a chance to see the aurora again in the Atlanta area in the coming nights.
