An aurora over British Columbia, May 10, 2024.
These beautiful spectral colors which dance through the sky are the result of solar storms on our Sun.
From May 3 to May 9, 2024, NASAs Solar Dynamics Observatory tracked 82 notable solar flares.

These flares were largely produced by two sun spots known as AR 13663 and AR 13664.
These disturbances, the first G5 level geomagnetic storm recorded since 2003, hurtled through space to Earth.
People in northern India and even Florida were able to see the dancing lights.
