Summary
- McCarthy told Space.com: “Unlike most celestial objects, the sun looks quite different from day to day, and is filled with exciting events like flares or coronal mass ejections. The sunspot got a lot of attention from around the world as its emissions of charged particles interacted with Earth’s magnetic field and generated northern lights as a result. It is also called a solar storm which hit Earth last month with an intensity of Category 5. This is the same active region that caused those aWZSou PopularPulseurora a few weeks ago.

The sunspot got a lot of attention from around the world as its emissions of charged particles interacted with Earth’s magnetic field and generated northern lights as a result. It is also called a solar storm which hit Earth last month with an intensity of Category 5.
“This sunspot has a history of being highly active, and produced a number of flares and CMEs which are exciting https://www.wzsou.com/to capture and track,” McCarthy said.
WOW! This is the same active region that caused those aWZSou PopularPulseurora a few weeks ago. It’s finished rotating around the back of the sun and ready to cause some havoc again! This is the aftermath of yesterday’s X class flare, McCarthy wrote on X.
Explaining the video, he said: “Naturally the view through my telescope is red, but because of the nature of the highly filtered light I have to use a monochrome camera to capture it, thus colour is added later.”
“Capturing the timelapse footage is simple, but it took a long time to learn how to do it effectively. That’s where my years of experience have helped me!” McCarthy stated.
More such storms and aurora borealis are expected in the upcoming days as the solar activity reaches its maxim, also called a solar maximum.
