US EditionRare Pink and Purple Aurora Appears over Northeast China
- From the evening of June 1 through early June 2, an unusual display of pink and purple lights was visible in the sky above Heilongjiang Province in northeast China.
- This event followed an intense geomagnetic storm triggered by a fast coronal mass ejection from an M8.2 solar flare on May 31, 2025.
- The geomagnetic storm, lasting over three days, pushed the auroral activity zone unusually south to 45 degrees latitude, visible in cities like Jiamusi and Heihe.
- Solar wind speeds reached up to 1000 km/s, causing a severe G4-level storm that tested technology but so far caused only manageable disruptions.
- Experts advise monitoring space weather alerts and taking protective measures for electronics as geomagnetic activity may continue at minor to moderate levels soon.

Rare pink and purple aurora appears over northeast China
A rare pink and purple aurora appeared over parts of northeast China's Heilongjiang Province from the night of June 1 to the early hours of June 2, China Media Group (CMG) reports.The unusual aurora display was caused by a geomagnetic storm triggered
The phenomenon can produce alterations in electrical networks, disturbances in high frequency radio communications and possible temporary errors in satellite navigation systems Hemeroteca - Julia de León, astrophysics: “If we come to a meteorite of ten kilometers, we are lost” The Spanish Space Agency (ESA) has asked the operators of space and terrestrial infrastructure to “maintain surveillance” and “updating forecasts with the latest data from…
The Spanish Space Agency (ESA) has warned space and terrestrial infrastructure operators this Sunday “to maintain surveillance” and “to update forecasts with the latest data from international agencies”, after recording, during the last hours, an intense solar activity caused by high-speed coronal mass ejection. This type of phenomenon can alter electrical networks, radio communications and GPS systems.
Longest Geomagnetic Storm in Years Sparks Global Aurora Display
Welcome to FreeAstroScience.com, where we make complex scientific principles simple and accessible for everyone. We're witnessing something extraordinary right now – one of the longest geomagnetic storms in recent memory is painting the sky with auroras and testing our technology. Whether you're curious about the science behind these cosmic events or worried about their effects on your daily life, we've crafted this comprehensive guide specifica…
The Sun is sending out a serious warning, NASA does not give credence to what is happening, the most important warning of all is coming. The reality is that we are facing a series of elements that perhaps we have not taken into account until now. We depend more on what we imagine of outer space and, above all, on a Sun that is responsible for life on Earth as we know it, without it it it would be impossible for the necessary conditions to be ful…
