A stunning celestial show unfolded over Heilongjiang Province as a rare pink and purple aurora illuminated the night sky. From the night of June 1 to the early hours of June 2, residents gazed in awe at this dreamlike spectacle.
The breathtaking display was triggered by a powerful solar flare on May 31 that set off a geomagnetic storm. Charged particles collided with nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere, combining blue, violet, and red emissions to create the surreal pink and purple glow. ✨🌌
This natural phenomenon not only highlights the dynamic interplay between our sun and Earth’s magnetic field, but also offers a reminder of the marvelous wonders of our universe. Keep looking up and enjoy the cosmic dance! 🚀
