Can you really see Northern lights (Aurora Borealis) in Ladakh as many photos being shared on social media have made a buzz ever since IIA Bengaluru shared a timelapse video captured by Hanle Observatory of Ladakh where red clouds can be seen in the skies of Ladakh. While most photos are old, mostly from Norway and Iceland, the IIA Bengaluru stated: “This is a time-lapse of the sky taken by a 360 deg camera from #Hanle on 22/23 April night. You can see the aurora lights due to an intense geomagnetic storm that hit the Earth. It is extremely rare to see aurora at such a low latitude! At 11:42 PM on 21 Apr the Sun launched a coronal mass ejection towards the Earth. This CME (speed of 500-600 km/s) was associated with an M1 class solar flare. The CME arrived at Earth late on April 23 at 10 PM. It further stated that This geoeffective CME led to an excellent night for auroral activity. The aurora came to lower-than-usual latitudes overnight leading to rare sightings from Europe, China & Ladakh in India. Such a severe geomagnetic storm last occurred in 2015. “For predictions of this storm as well as space weather forecasts for other solar events, check out @cessi_iiserkol Centre for Excellence in Space Sciences India at @iiserkolhttp://cessi.in According to news portal The Quint, while the first three images show the Northern Lights in Norway, the fourth one is from Iceland.
