New Englanders were treated to a spectacular sight on Sunday night as the Northern Lights made a rare appearance, visible as far south as Texas. The vibrant colors of the aurora borealis illuminated the sky in parts of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island from Sunday night into early Monday morning.
The G3-level geomagnetic conditions from the weekend developed into a G4 (Severe) Geomagnetic Storm on Monday, providing another opportunity for locals to witness the phenomenon. Photos of the Northern Lights were captured from various locations, including Wachusett Regional High School in Holden, Mount Washington Observatory in New Hampshire, and the National Weather Service offices in Caribou, Maine.
The stunning displays of the aurora borealis captivated those who were fortunate enough to witness it, with some capturing breathtaking images of the celestial event. The unique convergence of the Perseid meteor shower and the Northern Lights created a magical spectacle in the night sky over New England.
