Rare Solar Storm Triggers Stunning Northern Lights Display in Southern U.S.


As aurora watchers waited and wondered Thursday night, for a time it seemed possible the latest blast from the sun could end up a northern lights bust. But then, there was light.

A geomagnetic storm reaching G3 levels, which is considered strong on a scale of 1 to 5, roared in shortly before the sun began to rise Friday morning on the East Coast, arriving several hours later than expected. Colorful aurora borealis were reported at least as far south as Arizona in the United States, with vibrant displays reported at higher latitudes. The Southern Hemisphere has also checked in with its own dancing lights in the sky.
