It is a spectacle that lucky people have been able to immortalize. Northern lights took place in France, on the evening of April 23, from north to south. A rare phenomenon that could repeat itself more and more.
On the evening of April 23, well after sunset, the sky lights up and turns green, gold and purple, characteristics of an exceptional aurora borealis. THE professional and amateur astrophotographers were on point. “It’s moving, it’s exciting to see a phenomenon that is still rare here in France, and especially itwas the second time this year“says Simon Lericquephotographer. Same emotion for a photographer located in the east.
Next aurora borealis in 2025
The aurora borealis is born from the meeting of the fluxes of particles emitted by the sun with the magnetic fields of the north and south poles. Sometimes, solar flares are so powerful that the aurora borealis can be seen as far away as France. If for the crews of the space station, the aurora borealis are almost daily, in France, it will probably be necessary to wait until 2025 to see such a spectacle again.
