Long Island was treated to a rare and vibrant display of the Northern Lights Thursday night, lighting up the sky in a dazzling array of colors.
Thanks to a rare geomagnetic storm, the aurora was visible as far south as Alabama, with the best views on Long Island around 7 p.m. The Northern Lights have been viewable multiple times this year on the Island, including in August and May.
Long Islanders didn’t miss the chance to capture the moment, sharing stunning views to Greater Long Island on social media. Check them out below.
