It was a strange cosmic collision, and heaven responded in Technicolor.
A “cannibal” rare and noisy eruption crashed into the earth this week, which painted the amazing sky from Scotland to the South Pole.
The strange phenomenon, known as a Cannibal coronal mass expulsion (CME), occurred after two solar rashes decided to merge half the flight, forming a massive magnetic monster that accompanied the atmosphere of the earth on April 15.
The result? A global delirium in heaven.
The experts at the NOAA space meteorate prediction had warned about a G3 level storm for April 16, but Mother Nature uploaded it to G4 Letly, sending parts loaded directly to the sightings of Aurora Wild History away from the Poles.
In Finland, Austin Macdonald photographer, left without words.
“I was amazed and almost excessive. Living in Finland, I see Auroras quite frequently, from small storms G1 to the extreme G5 storm last year. But last night it was something special,” Macdonald told Space.com.
“It occurred very fast, and it was high, it went south, the north, the east, the west … felt as if it were standing inside a 360 degree aurora sphere. It simply made me feel incredible,” Hity of the Light Show.
Macdonald, who used to work in meteorology, compared the show with the coup of the Atmospheric Mayor Prize.
“In many ways, this was felt how to witness the atmospheric equivalent of a perfect storm … You cannot avoid feeling incredible lucky to have been there for it,” he said to the site.
Photographers from around the world broke similar views from another world.
In Ireland, Sryan Bruen caught the northern northern light of the Ballynafagh church in Koldare County.
About the United Kingdom, Astro Astro Astrophotographer published in X a Timelapse of Aurora Pirouetting on its backyard.
Further north in Scotland, Cat Perkinton marveled at the “crazy colored range in the last night on #StIRLING.”
In Germany, the heavenly striptease fell to 49 degrees of latitude.
And it was only the northern hemisphere that was lit.
In the southern hemisphere, an X user shared a dazzling photo of the Australis Aurora, writing: “Aurora Australis 04/17/2025 84 % full moon in the Zenith and the lady finally decided to take out the moon and gave Wele’s beams and color Ashone de Wele were an exciting final.”
While the storm is running out, NOAA says that high latitude auroras are still possible since the KP index persists about 4.33 in the next 24 hours.
