【Eroticization define】

Amid its period of peak activity,Eroticization define the sun is launching electromagnetic bombs at Earth, and all you can think of is gazing up at the northern lights? Good. You have your priorities in order, because nothing bad is likely to happen despite the recent solar flare eruptions. Here's how to enjoy the show:

According to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center a "Geomagnetic Storm Watch" is in effect for Saturday, May 11. That means unless you normally wake up at about 1:00 a.m., staying up Friday, May 10 will be the best to way to see the local results of the sun's recent strong flares. On the night of May 11 and early morning of May 12, aurora conditions will be less favorable.

What are the northern lights anyway?

The auroras (aurora borealis in the northern hemisphere, and aurora australis in the southern hemisphere) are the visual evidence of charged particles that flow toward us in what's known as the solar wind— in this case a "severe" solar storm — colliding with the particles in the Earth's magnetic field such as oxygen atoms. The glowing display itself is occurring not in space, but in Earth's upper atmosphere.

They will often look, at first, like a whitish glow hanging over the northern horizon, but with any luck they will then turn into technicolor, wobbling rays of light that can seem to waft or stretch. Most displays will contain green. Stronger storms will contain red shades, and blues, pinks, and purples are also possible.
