An aurora is sometimes not an aurora
Your daily dose of natural disasters and amazing phenomena for October 14 2021...
Hi everybody! I was on vacation for two weeks! Now I am back, full of energy! Here some interesting news…
When an aurora is not an aurora
During the G2-class geomagnetic storm of Oct. 12th, skies over Alberta, Canada, filled with Northern Lights - and something else. The red arc cutting across the Milky Way in this wide-angle exposure is a SAR.
SARs are related to auroras, but they are not the same. Regular auroras appear when high-energy particles rain down from space, hitting the atmosphere (100-200 km high) and causing it to glow like the picture tube of an old color TV.
SARs are a sign of heat energy leaking into the upper atmosphere (~400 km high) from Earth's ring current system.
These vivid red arcs were discovered in 1956 at the beginning of the Space Age and have been recorded by cameras on satellites hundreds of times since. Most aurora watchers have never seen one, though, because SARs are usually faint.
