A spectacular display of extremely rare pink auroras transformed the night skies above Norway after a solar storm forced a temporary crack in Earth's magnetic field. The pink and purple lights swarmed the sky which was spotted by a tour group led by Markus Varik. After the solar storm, the crack in the planet's magnetic field was opened, leading to the penetration of highly energetic solar particles more profoundly into the atmosphere than usual.
