An incredible northern lights display was observed in Dnipro on the night of January 2nd (PHOTOS).

On the night of January 2, the sky above Dnipro was illuminated by the northern lights, reports "Vydomo" citing "Trukha Dnipro".

The northern lights are a rare atmospheric phenomenon typically observed in the northern regions of the Earth. They occur as a result of the interaction between solar wind and the planet's magnetic field.

In Ukraine, such an event is accompanied by a geomagnetic storm classified as G4. This is the second most powerful storm on the NOAA scale. It occurs up to 100 times during an 11-year solar cycle. The only stronger storms are G5, which happen only 4 times in a cycle.

Previously, we reported that on the night of August 13, the northern lights were visible in the sky over Dnipropetrovsk region.
