The Northern Lights danced across skies all around the world last night (May 10), and photos coming in show that they peaked in vivid blues, greens, pinks, and purples.
Some of us were able to witness the Aurora Borealis, and others sadly missed the event due to weather, light pollution, bad timing—or because we simply didn’t know about the epic geomagnetic storm that’s currently raging. Fortunately, that storm will continue sending Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) our way tonight, which means we’ll get another chance to experience the Northern Lights.
People in Cleveland, Ohio, had gorgeous, almost unreal views of the lights.
This video of a reindeer beneath the neon green Aurora Borealis is magical.
Don’t forget to check the sky for another round of the Northern Lights tonight. They are typically at their peak between 10 PM and 3 AM, but you should start looking up at dusk. Last night, some areas had their best views much earlier than expected.
