The strongest solar flare (9 photos)

Tuesday solar flares caused this light show in the northern skies of Earth. Even experienced observers were struck by air saturation auroras that have unfolded in the night sky northern Scandinavia after the biggest in the past few years, solar flares. American experts in the field of space weather said they have not yet identified the problems associated with outbreaks, because of which the aurora borealis was visible even in Wales. It was part of the most powerful solar storm in just a few years, but over the next few months, the sun may be even more active. The sun seemed to remind us of what is coming.
