Red Aurora & Light Pillars: Fairbanks' Spectacular Show

On November 11, 2025, Fairbanks, Alaska, witnessed a breathtaking display of light pillars and a rare red aurora, caused by a powerful geomagnetic storm from solar eruptions. The clear skies provided perfect viewing conditions, with the aurora visible as far south as Montana, North Dakota, and even Mexico. The red hue, caused by high-altitude oxygen atoms, was a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle, with many residents capturing the event with their cell phones or braving the cold to experience it firsthand.
