On December 10, pink and orange aurora borealis were recorded in Norway. The phenomenon is super rare and was recorded by the tour guide of the company Greenlander Tromsø and professional “aurora hunter” Markus Varik, on social media.
In the publication, he comments that the phenomenon had happened in November, and that he did not expect it to be repeated so soon. “No idea why the aurora turned orange, I’ve never seen that before,” he said.
A study by a group of physicists at Iowa State University, in the United States, demonstrated that “the brightest aurora borealis are produced by powerful electromagnetic waves during geomagnetic storms”. These phenomena accelerate electrons toward Earth, causing the particles to produce the light show we call the aurora borealis.
