賓州匹茲堡上空10日晚間也出現極光。(取自X平台@DaveDiCello)
太陽風暴引發的強烈磁暴10日來襲,美國、澳洲、英國、中國以及日本等地都出現極光現象,將夜空渲染成夢幻的炫麗色彩。
《每日郵報》(Daily Mail)報導,當來自太陽的帶電粒子直接撞擊地球磁場時,就會發生這種現象。這一反應將黑暗的天空變成了充滿活力的、閃爍著旋轉的彩色光幕的天空,散發出包括綠色、粉紅色、紅色、黃色、藍色以及紫色的光芒。這種現象類似出現在極圈地區的極光,通常只有在斯堪地那維亞半島、阿拉斯加以及冰島等地才能看得道的景色,10日的太陽風暴則讓歐洲和北美地區也能看到此一壯觀的景色。

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE EVER!!!
These are just some of the many videos I recorded of tonight’s #solarstorm show!
This #northernlights show put a strain on my neck for lookingup in the sky all night yet this is by far myfavorite #Aurora experience ever! pic.twitter.com/fQOJUFLIM7
This is absolutely ridiculous. For the fourth time in five months, the Northern Lights are visible in #Pittsburgh. This view is from just after sunset, when it was visible across the ENTIRE skyline, and even overhead. Cannot believe how vibrant it was. I may be out all night, pic.twitter.com/BDgl5KVze4

從X平台發布的影片和照片顯示,整個美國北部、南至加州北部都有機會看到這項天然奇景。不過,觀看的能見度也取決於當地的天氣條件和城市燈光。
