Rare "White Auroras" spotted over Norway.🤩

10. Please delete this post - the white aurora is an AI hoax.

It's been kicking around the Internet for years, not AI at first (made with fluorescent lights), but more recently enhanced. "The images were created by a person in Russia with the username “NeverSmile.” He posted them (and 9 more) at https://www.yaplakal.com on July 16, 2010. ...There are no white auroras. What you are seeing is not actually white but most likely a pale green. To quote Dr. Tony Phillips at SpaceWeather, “Auroras get their colors from specific elements in Earth’s upper atmosphere. Green auroras, for instance, come from atomic oxygen; blue is associated with molecular nitrogen. No element produces white.”"

Just to be sure, I checked the major Norwegian news outlets, Aftenposten, Verdens Gang, and NRK. No mention of white auroras, which would have been a very big deal if it had happened. Here's a nice, normal, green one, though. https://www.aftenposten.no/norge/i/QMp2dW/kraftig-solstorm-kan-gi-spektakulaert-nordlys-over-hele-norge
