Experts report that Ukrainians are watching the northern lights of the «Aurora». The reason for this is the storm that arose on the Sun. Under certain conditions and with a large emission power, this glow can also reach Ukraine.

«There was a powerful geomagnetic storm connected with the bombardment of our planet by the coronal mass ejection that occurred on the Sun a few days ago,» — writes Kharkiv astronomer Volodymyr Kazhanov.

According to meteorologists' forecasts, the geomagnetic storm will last for three days, and already on November 8, the situation with space weather will significantly improve.
