Satellite image of the aurora borealis recorded on May 11, 2024, by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) on Suomi NPP.Space researchers and sky-watchers were treated to a spectacular display screen of the northern lights.The greatest geomagnetic storm in over 20 years took place in May 2024, resulting in stunning around the world displays of the aurora borealis. The G5 storm culminated in a remarkable display screen of the aurora borealis over night on May 10– 11, visible from numerous areas worldwide, including latitudes where sightings of auroras are uncommon.The VIIRS (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite) on the Suomi NPP satellite acquired this image of the aurora at 3:20 a.m. Central Time (08:20 Universal Time) on May 11, 2024. Climatic substances found at different altitudes affect an auroras color.Photo obtained on May 11, 2024, from near Saskatoon in Saskatchewan, Canada. Pictures gotten on May 10– 11 program aurora associated with what NOAA called the most extreme geomagnetic storm considering that 2003.
