YOU CAN SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS FROM AS FAR SOUTH AS OXFORD RIGHT NOW!! 🤯😱🥳😍🥰 ✨🤩 GET OUT THERE AND LOOK UP! A giant solar storm caused the northern lights to be visible much further south than normal. The aurora are due to high energy particles buried up by the Sun in the solar storm hitting molecules in our atmosphere and causing them to glow. The greens are from Oxygen and the pinks from Nitrogen. You could just about see the colours with your eyes alone but the camera picked it out even more. There’s even reports of them being seen from the Southern Hemisphere in Argentina! #aurora#northernlights#geomagneticstorm#oxford#uk#astronomy#nightsky#womeninstem#timelapse
