Okay okay I promise, this is the last shot from that epic night! The largest #NorthernLights storm in 20 years! They say... #northernlightsstockholm This shot is taken 10th of May 2024. The most common aurora color is green. Typically produced when charged particles collide with high concentrations of #oxygen molecules in earth's atmosphere at altitudes of around 100 to 300 km, (60 to 190 miles) Purple / pink & blue auroras tend to appear during periods of higher solar activity. These colors are produced when particles collide with #Nitrogen at an higher altitude, because nitrogen is lighter than oxygen. #Norrtäljekommun #Norrtälje #SwedishLandscape #Landscape #SlowPhotography #LandscapePhotography #SlowPhotography #NorrskenSverige #Norrsken #Northern_Lights #NorrskensFoto #NorthernlightsPhotos #AurorOfTheDay #WorldAurora #IG_AuroraBorealis #FujixSweden #FujixNordic

Unless solar maximum continues like it does right now into the autumn, we will probably not see these colors in our latitudes for quite some time! #NorthernLights #northernlightsstockholm This shot is taken 10th of May 2024.

I knew that it was theoretically possible to see the #NorthernLights this late in the season... But I could never have imagined what happened last night. Sure I've seen these colors before, even if they're super rare, but never on this magnitude! And never a 'SP' in the Stockholm area! This shot is taken 10th of May 2024.
