This amazing phenomenon occurred on Septmeber 26,2011 in the norern regions of Norway. The bright light and glow are the cause of an massive explosion in the sky caused mainly by a large coronal mass injection that led to the explosion in Earth's magnetosphere. Producing a severe geomagnetic storm and magnificent widespread auroras. These lights were mainly visible in northern Europe, notably in Norway. These auroras spread over the length of 100 kilometers in the sky.
