In a rare celestial event, the skies over Switzerland were illuminated by the mesmerizing display of the Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis.

This spectacle was made possible due to a geomagnetic storm of category G4 on the sun, which sent charged particles hurtling towards Earth.

While typically visible in polar regions, these lights were seen in various parts of Switzerland, including Zurich and the Bernese Oberland, despite challenging weather conditions.

Enthusiasts and photographers captured the vibrant greens, violets, and reds dancing across the sky, a result of solar particles interacting with Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere.

This event highlights the sun's current active phase, which has increased the frequency of such sightings in regions not usually privy to this natural wonder.
