This latest wave of rare red aurora is as striking as it dances across the clear sky. Rare red auroras require higher concentrations of solar storm particles to penetrate deeper into Earth’s atmosphere.
Various images of the appearance of this rare red aurora have flooded social networks Twitter posted by locals and observers of celestial bodies. Mike MacLellan, a northern lights hunter based in Quebec, Canada, captured several photos of the horizon glowing bright neon green turning orange, red and purple above the sky, and shared them with Space.com .
Similar sightings of red auroras have been reported by photographers in Scotland and Norway. “No words for last night’s show in Kåfjorddalen, Norway,” northern lights hunter Adrien Mauduit said via Twitter.
He posted a photo of a beautiful aurora like purple and green fireworks over a snowy landscape. One of Mauduit’s photos shows a bright orange, pink, and purple butterfly-shaped aurora above a rocky peak.
“Did someone say ‘red’? Really interesting aurora a few minutes ago in Skibotn, Norway,” Mauduit said in the tweet quoted by the Space page on Saturday (2/18/2023).
Dan Tanner from Alberta, Canada shared a photo that captures a wintry sunrise enhanced by the green and purple glow that lights up the pre-dawn sky. “Wow!! Stunning views this morning in central Alberta!” Tanner said in a tweet.
