In Ladakh's remote region of Hanle, a breathtaking display of the aurora borealis enchanted spectators as an intense solar storm hit Earth. Vibrant colors painted the night sky as auroras illuminated various parts of the globe, including Russia, Australia, and Germany. These rare atmospheric phenomena, caused by disturbances in the magnetosphere triggered by the solar wind, captivated onlookers with their shimmering curtains and static auroral arcs. The solar storm, fueled by coronal mass ejections from the sun, unleashed charged particles that interacted with the Earth's magnetic field, producing spectacular light displays visible across continents.
