Greeting friends.
On the night of November 5 to 6, wild dances took place in our area in the sky. What am I talking about? I'm talking about the Northern Lights. I saw the first tongues of this radiance on the evening of November 4, but it was a small celestial disturbance and at 12 a.m. almost nothing was visible.
Yesterday afternoon I read that there was an energy release on the Sun and scientists expected to meet with a solar parcel only on the night of November 7 and disturbances in the Earth's atmosphere were predicted to be small. But the scientists made a mistake and the forecast turned out to be incorrect. The Northern Lights on the night of November 6 were visible even in the Krasnodar Territory of Russia. We can say that these are the southernmost latitudes of the country.
A few details. At about 7 pm, my son-in-law and I went out for a walk in our village. There was good lighting on the streets of the village, but somehow out of the corner of my eye I saw that there was some incredible stirring in the sky. There are no bright flashes of the Northern Lights in our latitudes and not everyone can understand what is happening on the northern horizon and in the sky. But optics does its job. The camera sees the color better.
I came home, took a camera, a tripod and took some photos. It was necessary to go to the field, towards the river or go to the hill. But I didn't have such a physical opportunity, we just celebrated my wife's birthday.
Probably, everyone remembers the fairy tale about the girl Ellie, who gets to the land of Oz with her friend Toto the dog. They are going to the Emerald City. I know for sure that this city exists and can be seen in the sky during the Northern Lights. And even Philip Pullman wrote his trilogy about it.
Friends, thank you for your attention.
