ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) \u2014 Streaks of shimmering green and red bands exploded in the dark skies above Alaska\u2019s largest city Tuesday as the aurora provided a light show for early morning dog walkers, joggers and commuters.<\/p>\n
Anchorage was not alone in seeing vivid displays of the aurora following a major disturbance<\/a> in the Earth\u2019s magnetic field. <\/p>\n The aurora didn\u2019t disappoint, and its reach overnight Monday and into Tuesday was wide. Social media was lit up with stunning aurora photos from places including Alaska, San Francisco, Chicago, Canada and across Europe.<\/p>\n The intense displays came amid intense geomagnetic and solar radiation storms, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration\u2019s Space Weather Prediction Center.<\/p>\n In November<\/a>, solar storms brought vibrant auroras<\/a> to parts of Europe including Hungary and the United Kingdom, and as far south in the United States as Texas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) \u2014 Streaks of shimmering green and red bands exploded in the dark skies above Alaska\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":420174,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[14892,3292,14891,6626,157,1076,793,11499,79,200479,193,34470,1022,1306,795],"class_list":["post-420173","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-space","tag-ak-state-wire","tag-alaska","tag-anchorage","tag-astronomy","tag-chicago","tag-europe","tag-general-news","tag-national-oceanic-and-atmospheric-administration","tag-science","tag-send-to-apple-news","tag-space","tag-storms","tag-texas","tag-trending-news","tag-u-s-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=420173"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/420173\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/420174"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=420173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=420173"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=420173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
