Northern Lights Captured in Cyprus - Stunning Photo of the Phenomenon

The Northern Lights, a rare phenomenon for Cyprus, were captured by Christos Mastis in a long-exposure photograph. The phenomenon was not visible to the naked eye but was recorded using specialized equipment. The capture coincided with a strong solar storm affecting Earth and potentially causing problems with power grids and satellites. Similar phenomena were also recorded in Greece due to the geomagnetic storm. The published photograph demonstrates the beauty and rarity of the Northern Lights, even in areas where their appearance is unlikely.
