A massive burst of solar air current made contact with Earth ’s magnetic field Monday evening , giving salary increase to some uncharacteristically bright northerly lights that were visible even at some of Earth ’s not - so - northerly latitudes .
Take the view of the aurorae up top , for exercise , captured by storm chaserBrian Emfingerfrom a field in Ozark , Arkansas .
Emfinger says that Monday evening was only the 2d time in ten years that he ’s get word the aurora borealis as far south as Arkansas , and that they were the most telling he ’s ever witness :
“ [ The view was ] exceedingly graphic , the most vivid I have ever see . There was just 15 to 20 minutes where it really go gaga . ”
Check the timelapse video recording on the left , also composed by Emfinger , to get a spirit for what he ’s talking about .
