The sky is swept with auroras. While auroras often cluster around the poles, their intensity allows them to travel to lower latitudes when a CME is strong enough. Even at regions far from the sun's polar caps, auroras have been observed. Is there a difference between the arrival of a CME and a mete...

For example, on February 4, 1872, the aurora was observed and documented in Bombay and Athens, and on May 15, 1921, on about Samoa. What can this be associated with?

Hi! O.K. When entering the magnetosphere and then the ionosphere, CME particles move along the magnetic field lines. If the aurora occurs at the magnetic poles, the precipitation of particles from practically one point is understandable. However, if the aurora is low-latitude, the particles' precipi...

Hi everyone! I have the following questions 1. What does the aurora look like in the sky when SME hits the Earth: does an aurora come from a single point in the sky (or a limited sector), or is the aurora distributed throughout the sky? 2. Have there been cases where, after a CME hit Earth, the auro...
