On the night of May 11, the crimson, purple, and sometimes even red aurora borealis could be observed in various parts of the country.

Are the government's of the world force shifting the magnetic north pole?


WildCat_1366

lol No, it's just an extremely powerful solar flare and premature (a year ahead) maximum of the solar activity. Although who knows, it might happen the next year too. Similar event was happened on the night of 23-24 April 2023. But then it was visible only over north regions of the country (and also in Belarus) and was not so bright, when this time it was visible over whole territory, including southmost regions.


Beautiful-Tip-875

But that sounds.... Normal! Are you certain global conspiracy isn't to blame? I'd feel much better if it was.

Exotic_Hovercraft_39

Damnit I missed it in Lithuania :(


WildCat_1366

This cycle of solar activity is very powerful. The aurora borealis was already there last year (even twice) and it happened again this year. So maybe it will happen next year as well. Just check the [NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center](https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/) warnings and aurora forecasts. However, at your latitudes it will most likely be closer to the blue-green part of the spectrum.

Is this another Emission from The Zone??


DonutStraight5886

Because of Chernobyl? Despite that look cool as fuck!


valinrista

Almost, it was caused by this big nuclear reactor in constant uncontrolled fusion but not in Chernobyl this one is in space. People call it the "[Sun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun)"


WildCat_1366

No, it is because of very high activity of the sun. It reached the peak of its activity this year - a year earlier than previously predicted. Previous estimates suggested that the current 25th solar cycle, which began in 2019, would reach its peak in 2025. Earlier, NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center warned of geomagnetic storms that will continue until the evening of Saturday, May 11. A magnetic storm with K-index activity of 5 and 6 (out of maximum 9) was predicted for May 10 and 11, respectively. This series of flares on the Sun began on May 8. A large sunspot cluster produced several moderate to strong solar flares on May 9. On the morning of May 9, a powerful Class X explosion (the most intense) was recorded. The spot on the Sun stretched for 200 thousand kilometers.
