Da Auroras Show Off Ova Da US: Errybody Stay Mind-Blown
🌌🤯 Da Northern Lights, o’ aurora borealis, wen’ make one rare show in da sky all ova’ da United States cuz get one massive “hole” in da sun. 🌞
Dis big hole inside da sun’s corona wen’ cause one strong geomagnetic storm dat wen’ damage Earth’s magnetic field. Da result? Da buggah awesome Northern Lights display dat wen’ reach da US an’ millions of peeps wen’ see ’em. 🌌🌠
Plenny states inside da US wen’ see da aurora borealis’ green lights dancin’ in da sky. 🇺🇸💚
Photos an’ videos of da aurora borealis wen’ flood da social media timelines of millions peeps. All kine accounts wen’ share da visual shots by demselves. 📸📹
Da experts stay sayin’ dat da location of da oxygen an’ nitrogen in da atmosphere stay determine da colors we see up dea. Nitrogen an’ oxygen, dey da main sources fo’ green, red, an’ blue. 💚❤️💙
So, wat exactly stay one aurora, an’ wat causes ’em?
NASA stay sayin’ dat if you eva’ nea’ da North o’ South Pole, you might be in fo’ one special treat. Plenny times get beautiful light shows up in da sky. Dey call ’em auroras. If you stay nea’ da North Pole, dey call ’em aurora borealis o’ northern lights. If you stay nea’ da South Pole, dey call ’em aurora australis, o’ da southern lights. 🌌
Auroras stay caused by da Sun. Da Sun no only send us heat an’ light; it send plenny oddah energy an’ small particles our way. Da protective magnetic field ’round Earth keep us safe from most of da energy an’ particles, an’ we no even notice ’em. 🌎🛡️
But da Sun no send da same amount of energy all da time. Get one constant flow of solar wind, an’ get solar storms too. During one kine solar storm called coronal mass ejection, da Sun burps out one big bubble of electrified gas dat can fly t’rough space all fast. ☀️💨
When one solar storm come our way, some of da energy an’ small particles can go down da magnetic field lines at da north an’ south poles an’ into Earth’s atmosphere. Ova’ dea, da particles stay interact wit’ da gases in our atmosphere, an’ den we get da beautiful light shows up in da sky. Oxygen give off green an’ red light. Nitrogen glows blue an’ purple. 🟢🔴🔵🟣
