This stunning footage by William Justo captures a once-in-a-lifetime aurora borealis display glowing pink and purple over San Jose, California, on November 11, 2025.
The video features the aurora shimmering vividly above suburban rooftops—an extraordinary sight for the Bay Area—accompanied by the filmer’s astonished reaction to witnessing it despite city lights and earlier cloud cover.
Triggered by a G4-level geomagnetic storm, among the most intense in two decades, the phenomenon was fueled by coronal mass ejections from powerful solar flares. Charged solar particles colliding with atmospheric gases produced the rare pink hues from nitrogen emissions.
A captivating and rare urban view of the Northern Lights perfect for news, science, or viral features.
