"Global Sky Watchers Witness Unprecedented Aurora Borealis Display and Solar Storms"

TL;DR Summary
Sky watchers around the world witnessed a stunning display of the aurora borealis, with colorful lights flashing across the night sky in North America, Europe, and Australia. Additionally, an unusual phenomenon known as STEVE, an elongated band of green and purplish light caused by a ribbon of plasma in the atmosphere, was also observed. The display was a result of two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) impacting Earth's magnetic field, leading to a G3 geomagnetic storm. The event was visible at lower latitudes than usual, with sightings primarily reported in the northern British Isles.
