Last morning (from May 10 to 11), an astronomical phenomenon that is not usually seen in Spain has put its magic in the skies of our country with its particular pink hue: some northern lights have been seen in areas of practically the entire Spanish geography. Many have been surprised to see this phenomenon, which is usually visible further north on the planet, at such low latitudes that they have even reached the south of the country.

The experts of the portal Eltiempo.es they call it a "historical milestone", and explain that it is due to a geomagnetic solar storm. As they detail, since 2003 there has not been one that had such an "extreme magnitude", and that has led to northern lights not only in Spain but also in many other places around the world.
Although there had been some northern lights in Spain in recent years, it had been a long time since they could be seen so clearly to our country with the naked eye, and in a generalized way in so many areas of the country. Logically, many people have taken images of what they were seeing, and have shared the spectacular photographs on social networks. This is a selection with some of the most beautiful and impactful posts.
