Imagine standing under a starlit sky, the air crisp and cold, as waves of green, pink, and purple lights dance above you. The aurora borealis, or northern lights, is one of nature's most breathtaking phenomena. While commonly associated with the polar regions, this magical display can also be seen in Mongolia, offering a unique and unforgettable experience.
It was reported that the appearance of the aurora in Mongolia was the result of a geomagnetic storm. Solar storms release high-energy particles and electromagnetic radiation that race toward Earth, where the planet's magnetic field attracts them to latitudes near the north and south poles, where they collide with molecules or atoms in the atmosphere to produce the luminescent aurora.
The phenomenon lasted a few minutes making its fleeting beauty even more precious and mysterious.
