Ladies and gentlemen, gather ‘round, gather ‘round! I bring tidings from the far-off realms of the internet, where the fearless scribes of "Skyscraper" have been putting in a whopping effort over the last ten years and 80 days! I mean, who knew the Muggle world could churn out 24,603 articles? That’s more news than a celebrity’s scandal! And as if that wasn’t enough, they insist they aren’t in bed with any oligarchs or mega-corporations. How refreshing! It’s like saying, “We don’t have a sugar daddy – we just have our loyal readers.”
Now, let’s talk about this little spectacle with the northern lights in Ukraine—because nothing says “serious news” like a celestial disco in the night sky! Turns out, the folks of Ukraine were treated to an aurora borealis recently. And get this – it was spotted in places like Kyiv and Odesa, which is just delightful. I can just picture it: people outside, cups of tea in hand, staring up like they’re waiting for the next season of their favorite show! “Oh look, love, it’s not an alien invasion, just the sun throwing a rave.”
But let’s not skip the science bit. Apparently, these dazzling lights are caused by magnetic storms from the sun. Who knew? Suddenly, all those times I blamed the sun for my ex’s behavior are starting to make sense. “You see, darling, it wasn’t me. It was a coronal mass ejection!” And the scientific explanation from Andriy Zalizovskyi just adds to the charm. The next time someone questions me about my poor life choices, I’ll just point to the sky and say, “Magnetic storms, my friend!”
And how often can the good people of Ukraine expect these cosmic light shows? The expert says they could be witnessing it about once a year. So, mark your calendars, folks! This time next year, get ready for the official excuse to have a barbecue at 3 AM while staring up at some pretty colors, wondering about life choices and existential dread.
In conclusion, dear readers, our friends at "Skyscraper" are giving you a chance to be part of something big—something that writes about cities and cosmic events while keeping it light and a bit jolly. So dig deep into those pockets and support them! They’re not just handy with words; they’re also keeping us entertained and educated at the same time. And hey, who doesn’t like a good northern light while contemplating the mysteries of the universe? Until next time, keep your heads in the clouds and your feet on the ground!

The cause of the aurora borealis is magnetic storms that arise due to powerful emissions from the Sun.

“During such magnetic storms, this is more or less a normal thing for Ukraine. The injection of coronal solar masses leads to the glow,” he explained To the public Andriy Zalizovskyi, Head of the Department of Radiophysics and Geospace of the Radio Astronomy Institute of the National Academy of Sciences.

“Since 2017, there have been about five magnetic storms that could potentially lead to us seeing the aurora. If everything works out, about once a year. In the next two or three years, there is a possibility that the phenomenon will be more frequent, because now we are close to the maximum of solar activity,” says the scientist.
