Northern Lights: Unexpected Colorful Displays in Rare Locations.

The northern lights, also called auroras, are beautiful displays of light in the sky. They happen when the sun has strong storms, sending energy towards Earth.

The sun is currently very active, so we are seeing more auroras than usual. This active time will likely last another year, with the most intense period still unknown.

Because of the sun's activity, auroras have been seen in places farther south than usual. Experts believe we will continue to see more of these amazing displays in the coming months.

Strong solar storms can also cause problems for technology on Earth, like power outages. Scientists carefully watch the sun's activity to warn us about any potential disruptions.

Last week, a big solar storm created auroras in unexpected places like Germany and New York City. Experts continue to monitor the sun closely, as even stronger storms could happen in the future.
