The magic of the northern lights was on full display in northern regions of China on December 1, captivating residents and visitors alike.
In Mohe, the northernmost city of China, and across northeast China's Heilongjiang Province, the aurora borealis painted the night sky with vibrant colors.
The spectacle reached the outskirts of Beijing, marking only the second time the Chinese capital—situated at 40 degrees north latitude—has witnessed this celestial phenomenon, according to media reports.
The China Meteorological Administration attributed the rare appearance of the aurora to geomagnetic storm activity, which temporarily disturbed the Earth's magnetosphere.
For many young global citizens, business and tech enthusiasts, and travelers, this event underscores the intersection of natural beauty and scientific wonder, offering a unique glimpse into the dynamic changes our planet experiences.
