☽𖤐☾ Yucatan Peninsula Gets Rare Glimpse of Mayan 5th Element ...

A powerful solar storm generated an incredible light show in the sky that could be seen from different parts of the world on the night of Friday, May 10th.

The phenomenon that was observed on the Yucatecan coast, although commonly called northern lights, is scientifically known as a geomagnetic storm. This occurs when the Sun emits a large amount of charged particles and radiation.

The recent G5 geomagnetic storm is the most powerful on record in years.
Since the start of the current solar cycle in 2019, only three severe geomagnetic storms (G4) have occurred. The most recent event was brief and took place on March 23, 2024.
