Northern Lights dazzle across multiple US states.
TL;DR Summary
A powerful geomagnetic storm caused by solar energy from the sun colliding with the Earth's magnetic field brought the Northern Lights much farther south than usual, giving people as far away as Washington, D.C. a glimpse of the aurora borealis. The unexpected solar storm was rated a G4 on a scale that goes up to G5. This rare but brilliant sight was captured in Western Massachusetts, where the Northern Lights were seen in Greenfield and over UMass Amherst.
