Aurora Alert: Northern Lights In Visible Sighting Across The US – See The pics
We asked readers to send us their aurora borealis photos. Here’s some of our favorites.
The northern lights were recently visible in Indiana.
Our nature-loving web producer, Gwen, explained the phenomenon beautifully in a message to our newsroom last week.
“The aurora borealis is visible so far south because of a particularly big storm on the sun that flung bits of the sun’s corona out towards Earth,” she explained. “The colors we see are from when those bits hit Earth’s magnetosphere. . . It’s like projectiles hitting our planet’s shield.”
We asked our community of Mirror Indy friends and neighbors to send us their best photos of the colorful night sky.
Here are a few of our favorites.
