About this Talent:

During a recent severe geomagnetic storm on Earth, a rare and puzzling phenomenon was observed in the skies over Pennsylvania: orange auroras.

Captured by sky watcher Tony Bendele, these orange hues left scientists intrigued, as such colors are not typically associated with auroras. "At first, I thought something was wrong, so I checked this image numerous times. The color orange is really there," Bendele remarked. Green auroras are primarily due to oxygen, while pink ones are attributed to nitrogen. The mystery arises because there is no known atmospheric element that should produce a bright orange aurora.

Theoretically, nitrogen and oxygen can emit light at orange wavelengths, but these emissions are typically weak compared to other colors produced by the same molecules. Under normal circumstances, auroras should not appear orange.The geomagnetic storm responsible for this rare auroral display was triggered by a series of powerful solar eruptions known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs).

These CMEs collide with Earth's magnetic field, funneling charged particles toward the poles and exciting atmospheric molecules, resulting in the auroras.
