Northern lights illuminate the Lakes Region last weekend
The northern lights illuminated the sky at Legace Beach on Webster Lake in Franklin on Friday night. The strongest geomagnetic storm since 2003 caused by a solar flare, hit earth, causing the northern lights to be seen in New Hampshire and across the United States. Electrically charged particles from the sun’s solar flares heat up atoms and molecules in the earth’s atmosphere, primarily nitrogen and oxygen. Oxygen is responsible for the green of the aurora, while nitrogen can create hints of purple, blue or pink. The northern lights were barely visible to the human eye, and could be seen better with a long exposure on a camera. All photos were taken with exposures between 10 to 30 seconds on a tripod.
