RUSSIA - Northern Lights move south: Magnetic storm reveals aurora borealis in Central Russia

An abnormal atmospheric phenomenon was visible throughout the relevantly low latitude of central Russia, including Moscow and St. Petersburg on Tuesday. A powerful geomagnetic storm promises to continue for a second day, also including an aurora. Witnesses and amateur astronomers have been busily posting photos and videos of this atmospheric event - so rarely seen in Central Russia - on blogs and social media.As a rule, the aurora borealis is visible in regions close or above the Polar Circle, for example in Russia’s Arctic city of Murmansk.
