A stream of particles from a strong coronal mass ejection from the Sun reached the Earth's magnetic field on Wednesday, May 12. This was the most significant geomagnetic storm of the 25th solar cycle, according to Space Weather.
Very bright and dynamic bands of the aurora borealis were seen before dawn in the Canadian province of Alberta. Auroral lights of light green and bluish colors decorated the sky at night. Eyewitnesses of the event tried to take as many pictures of the impressive phenomenon as possible.
The geomagnetic disturbance of class G3 lasted 6 hours. In Europe and in the northern states of the United States to see the aurora prevented the sunrise. By the time of May 13, the geomagnetic storm had almost subsided. Only minor G1 class storms were recorded.
