YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

A rare solar storm has lit up the night sky in countries that rarely get to see the natural light show the aurora borealis. The Northern Lights dazzled over the UK, Germany, France, the US and many other countries across the hemisphere.

A US Space Weather agency issued a severe geomagnetic storm warning when a solar outburst reached Earth on Friday afternoon. The rare event caused solar flares that meant the dancing lights could be seen much further south than usual.
