Last night, Kazakhstanis observed the northern lights

On the night of November 5-6, 2023, an aurora was observed in the northern, eastern and central regions of the republic, reports the Kazhydromet RSE.

Residents of the North Kazakhstan and Akmola regions observed the Northern Lights last night.

According to local residents, the northern lights lasted for 10-15 minutes.

Greenish-pink beauty with scarlet hues was also observed in other parts of the globe after the start of a strong magnetic storm. The meteorological phenomenon is unusual for our latitudes, and it is extremely rare to see it in the country, the weather service emphasized.

The Northern Lights are a natural optical phenomenon in which the upper layer of the atmosphere glows due to the interaction of the planet's magnetosphere with charged particles of sunlight.
