Solar winds contain charged particles; when they hit the earths atmosphere the particles create lights

Normally these solar winds “contact” at the upper part of the northern hemisphere; like Canada;Sweden;Russia:Alaska….northern most lands

This is an exceptionally powerful breeze so the lights will be seen further south than usual
