The spot observed near the northern lights is a type of “structured continuous emission” associated with Auroral activity.
Emma Spanswick, lead author of the study, explains that this spot is likely a heat source, suggesting that the aurora is more complex than previously thought. This discovery was made possible thanks to more advanced cameras that make it possible to obtain higher quality and more realistic color images of the night sky.
The Northern Lights are a light phenomenon observed in the upper atmosphere, especially in regions close to the polar regions. This glow is caused by the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth’s magnetic field and atmospheric gases.
