For the last few days, Earth has been bombarded with radiation as the strongest solar storm since 2005 raged. This geomagnetic storm has resulted in a wealth in stunning videos of the northern lights. The lights were most vibrant in northern Europe, but did reach into Canada and Alaska.
Watch this extremely vibrant footage from Sweden by photographer Chad Blakley:
Here are photographs sent to us from Jason, a Blaze reader, from Fairbanks, Alaska:
An aurora appears when a magnetic solar wind slams into the Earth’s magnetic field, exciting electrons of oxygen and nitrogen.
The northern lights are sometimes seen from northern Scotland, but they were also visible Monday night from northeast England and Ireland, where such sightings are a rarity.
The sun is likely to get even more active in the next few months and years, said physicist Doug Biesecker at the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado.
God tries to show us day and night how loving and awesome He is! We can do nothing without Him! Psalm 14:1 says, "Fools say to themselves,
"There is no God."
Fools are evil and do terrible things;
there is no one who does anything good." We have all been fools because God has had to keep calling us back to Himself. Without Him, we are filthy, but Jesus came to forgive us, clean us up, and take us to heaven again with Him when He comes!
