Want to know what the night sky looks like after a solar storm smashes into Earth and rips a hole into the planet’s magnetic field?
guide Markus Varik spotted the auroras at around 6 p.m. while leading a tour group near Tromsø, Norway, Varik told USA TODAY. Although the pink auroras weren’t the best he’s ever witnessed before, the color's intensity was “super rare” and “almost never happens,” Varik said.
Varik said that auroras are usually green, the color of oxygen atoms being struck by energetic particles, but purple shades can occur under “rare” conditions when electrons penetrate deep into the atmosphere and collide with molecules of nitrogen.
