Mystery green lights paint Russian skies from St. Petersburg to Siberia, photos go viral

A fascinating green glow illuminates the night sky and mixes the wonder between the residents, from the urban landscapes of St. Petersburg to the distance from the urban landscapes of St. Petersburg. Photographs and videos of the phenomenon have become viral on social media, and users are both fascinating and curious.

What lying behind the light show is the invisible forces of our planet’s interaction with space. The green glow is Aurora Borealis, a natural phenomenon caused by sun -loaded particles colliding with the world’s magnetic field and atmosphere. However, what makes the last screens strange is the intensity and visibility of these lights in the south latitudes until St. Petersburg, far beyond the usual arctic regions known for such screens.

Scientists attribute an unusual vivid auroral activity to a strong solar storm – loaded solar particles that reach the magnetosphere of the Earth after an intense solar wind explosion and an important solar glare event. This activity is part of the solar cycle 25, which is currently in the peak stage, which increases the frequency and brightness of geomagnetic storms around the world. The rechargeable particles excite the oxygen atoms in the atmosphere, causing characteristic green and sometimes red lights to dance in the night sky.
Despite this scientific explanation, the timing, size and intensity of the last solar storm surprised scientists, because some measurements showed an unexpected geomagnetic response without clear sun pioneering events, which showed that there were potentially unique magnetospheric processes in the game.

Social media platforms were open with vivid photos and videos shared by amazing residents who captured this green tones of these green tones. The surreal nature of these aurora, which shines over the famous cities and Siberian wild nature, forces observers to speculate not only about cosmic phenomena, but also about the mystery they can point.

Estimators expect the Solar Cycle to continue to produce high space-air activity between 2025-2026. This means that residents of middle latitude regions such as Northern Europe, Canada, North United States and the big cities of Russia can continue to enjoy rare Auroral landscapes. While geomanynetic storms may disrupt radio communication, GPS signals and satellite operations, a significant infrastructure failure in Russia has not been reported during the latest screens.
