Always sublime images. During the night from Thursday to Friday, the northern lights can be observed almost everywhere in France due to a new solar storm. From Lyon to Normandy via Troyes and the Alpes-Maritimes, many netizens shared stunning photos on social networks.

A solar flare is accompanied by a coronal mass ejection, or CME. This coronal mass is the origin of the appearance of the northern lights in the sky when they reach our magnetic field.
Why do we see the Northern Lights so frequently these days?
The sun is currently experiencing peak activity, which is why the northern lights have been particularly frequent in recent months.
This phenomenon has been observed elsewhere in the world. In the United States, Russia, England and Canada, the northern lights appeared in the sky.
