Thursday, March 28, over Hudson Bay in Canada ignited a stunning polar lights. Dancing night lights captures the Suomi NPP satellite with the VIIRS radiometer that detects artificial and natural light signals. In this case, the emission of visible light caused by solar energetic particles from the magnetosphere of the Earth in gases of the upper atmosphere.

According to Mike cook, an expert on space weather forecasting at Apogee Engineering, and a member of team citizen science project Aurorasaurus, polar lights arose from a minor coronal hole on the Sun that provided enough activity for a light show in the higher latitudes. March and September are the most active geomagnetic months due to the special interaction of the magnetic fields of the Earth and the Sun during the spring and autumn equinoxes.
