Aurora Borealis Seen in Ladakh Due to Solar Storm
A rare and beautiful sight!
Solar flares and a geomagnetic storm have caused auroras to appear in Ladakh, India.
On May 11, 2024, at 03:31 PM IST, a severe geomagnetic storm caused auroras to be visible in Ladakh, a region in northern India. This is a rare occurrence, as auroras are typically only seen in high-latitude regions near the Earth's poles.
The auroras were caused by a series of solar flares that erupted from the Sun on May 10 and May 11. These flares released a large amount of energy into space, which created a geomagnetic storm. The storm disrupted the Earth's magnetic field, which allowed charged particles from the Sun to reach lower latitudes than usual.
The auroras in Ladakh were a beautiful sight to behold. They appeared as colorful bands of light in the sky, and they danced and shimmered in the wind. The auroras were visible for several hours, and they were enjoyed by many people in Ladakh.
The solar storm that caused the auroras is expected to continue for several more days. This means that there is a chance that auroras may be visible in other parts of the world in the coming days.
