Respond photo aurora This Menoreh Tumpeng is viral in the mass media, Maurfin emphasized that aurora can only occur in the area around the geomagnetic pole or the earth’s magnetic pole.

The two geomagnetic poles are near the geographic pole, i.e Arctic Pole geographically adjacent to the Magnetic North Pole, and South Pole Geographically it is bordered by the Magnetic South Pole.

What are auroras? And how do auroras form?

aurora phenomenon is a phenomenon that accompanies when a stream of wind or solar storm particles, in the form of energetic protons and electrons, reaches Earth.

This flow of particles is basically an electric current with a very high current, up to millions of amperes.

However, Earth has a protective shield in the form of the magnetosphere, a network of Earth’s magnetic lines of force that form a giant water drop-like structure with the blunt end always facing the Sun.

Before the aurora formed in the geomagnetic region of Earth’s poles, when energetic protons or electrons arrived on Earth, the magnetosphere would bend its trajectory.

So that these particles do not touch the Earth by following the magnetic lines of force on the outside.

When they arrive at the tail structure or the back of the magnetosphere, which is behind the Sun, energetic protons or electrons are released back into space.

However, when arriving at the tail, there is a chance for recombination to occur, so that some of the energetic protons and electrons flow towards the geomagnetic poles.

Earth has a very large value of electrical resistance, so it is able to neutralize the energy flow of protons or electrons with any current.

However, before the particles enter the Earth through the geomagnetic poles, they must first penetrate the atmospheric layer rich in Oxygen and Nitrogen molecules.

“Here there is a collision between an energetic proton or electron with an oxygen or nitrogen atom. So that the electrons in the atom undergo a promotion process (moving to a deeper atomic shell) due to the additional energy, “explained Marufin.

Promotion will always be followed by excitation or transfer back to the previously inhabited atomic shells, resulting in the release of energy in the form of photons of light.

“These photons are what we see as aurora. So the absolute requirement to see the aurora in one area is that the area is in a circle. Arctic Pole or south,” he added.

The viral photo of the Tumpeng Menoreh aurora

This photo of the aurora-like sighting at Tumpeng Menoreh, Kulonprogo, Yogyakarta was taken and uploaded by an Instagram account @jhodytography_ three days ago it became a lot of comments and liked by netizens.

Some netizens even called it lucky to get the opportunity to photograph the momentum of a very rare celestial phenomenon and never even happened in the Indonesian sky.

“Only people who are lucky to get this moment at @tumpengmenoreh,” wrote the account @erixsoekamti.

Other netizens also commented that this scene doesn’t exist in Indonesia.

“Feels like not in Indonesia,” said the account @ehdeppp.

More and more fun is happening, especially in the upload, @jhodytography writes his portrait aurora in the sky Tumpeng Menoreh Yogyakarta was taken just for fun taking pictures using the camera smartphone only.
