Unique aurora captured in mid-latitudes

A resident of Irbit managed to capture on video a rare natural phenomenon, striking in its beauty. We are talking about the aurora of an unusual pulsating shape, which is quite rare and does not always appear noticeably at mid-latitudes.

The naked eye, as a rule, is not able to notice such an atmospheric phenomenon at all. But the presence of at least a gadget, not to mention any powerful equipment with optics, can help out. What happened to use Ilya Yankovsky, who took off the radiance and posted the result in the social network.

On his page, Yankovsky commented on the subject of his shooting, noting that the phenomenon consists of dim flickering spots, while the actual size of each can reach several hundred kilometers. Their movement simultaneously resembles both waves and fire.

The beginning of spring is considered one of the most suitable periods for observing the aurora in the middle latitude. Closer to the equinox, the solar wind has a greater influence on the planet's magnetic field, as a result of which even small geomagnetic activity can cause such celestial "shows".
