In a first, northern lights turn sky red in Bulgaria, people call it 'apocalyptic'

India Today  

For the first time, the aurora borealis, commonly known as the northern lights, graced the skies across a broad expanse of Bulgaria on Sunday evening. The shifting red aurora first appeared in the northeastern part of Bulgaria, before spreading to almost all corners of the Balkan country, reported Meteo Balkans. Aurora borealis seen in Bulgaria Some people on social media platforms described the pictures of the blood-red sky in Bulgaria as “apocalyptic” and “spooky”. While the northern lights are most commonly observed near Earth's magnetic north and south poles, where they are referred to as the aurora australis, they can occasionally make their presence known in more temperate regions.
