Some breathtaking photos of the aurora borealis were captured last night by Mr. Haitham Hamdy, a member of the International Astronomy Centre in the US.
This incredible light display was set off by a third degree (G3) level magnetic storm, which was fuelled by intense solar emissions.
In the stunning images, vivid reds and greens are seen across the sky, an amazing effect created by the ionisation of oxygen and nitrogen particles in our atmosphere triggered by the charged particles released during the solar storm.
It was an amazing spectacle that beautifully illustrated the dynamic relationship between our planet and the sun.
Mr. Haitham Hamdy who is also a member of the Jordanian Astronomical Society, took these remarkable photos from Massachusetts, located at 42 degrees north latitude, where the celestial show was nothing short of magical.
