At least five magnetic field explosions and solar storms are responsible for the power of this phenomenon. NASA assures us that these are regular processes and explains how they happen.

“These magnetic storms are not just beautiful lights, they also have their drawbacks,” says Ian Muirhead, a space systems researcher at the University of Manchester, quoted by next.gazet.pl.
