2024年3月1日 · Astronomers at the Indian Institutie of Astrophysics, Bengaluru, have revealed the source of the rare aurora that was seen in the skies of Ladakh in 2023. Auroras are a phenomenon more commonly associated with polar regions, and seeing them over Ladakh raised several questions.

2023年5月1日 · This was the first time that the aurora was captured on camera in India by the Indian Astronomical Observatory. The 360-degree camera atop the IAO in Ladakh Hanle captured the mysterious phenomenon, which is triggered by an interaction between the plasma particles hurled by the Sun and Earth's magnetic field.

2024年5月12日 · Aurora lights in red hues were visible from Ladakh’s pristine skies late at night, in the intervening hours between Friday (May 10) and Saturday. Astronomers of the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru (IIA) captured the auroras through all-sky cameras positioned around the Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO) in Hanle, Ladakh.

2024年5月11日 · In Ladakh, the usually remote region of Hanle was treated to a breathtaking sight as the aurora borealis danced across the sky. Russia, Australia, and Germany also witnessed the rare phenomenon as charged particles from the sun interacted with the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere.

In Leh, red auroral transmissions were captured on telescopes used by the Indian department of science and technology. These auroras were all a result of a solar, geomagnetic storm which emerged...

2024年5月11日 · A crimson glow lit up the dark sky in parts of Ladakh in a rare stable auroral red arc event at the Hanle Dark Sky Reserve in the high Himalayas due to the strong solar magnetic storms launched...

Leh, Nov.9.2023: Indian Astronomical Observatory (IAO) at Hanle and Merak in Ladakh captured images of an intense red coloured aurora on November 5. The Observatory is run by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), an autonomous institute under the Department of Science and Technology, Govt of India.

2023年11月11日 · Discover the mesmerising sight of a rare red aurora observed by Ladakh's Hanle and Merak observatories. Learn about the science behind this captivating phenomenon and its connection to a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) from the Sun.

The sky over Ladakh erupted in a rare and stunning aurora display, caused by a level 4 geomagnetic storm that hit Earth. The dance of lights, reminiscent of the northern lights typically seen in high latitudes, was captured by a 360-degree camera.

2024年5月13日 · Ladakh’s Hanle Dark Sky Reserve has captured stunning images of an astrophysical event similar to aurora borealis - Northern Lights in India. It was a rare sight for India when astronomers at the Hanle Dark Sky Reserve in Ladakh witnessed a red glow in the night sky on May 11, 2024.
