9 Stunning Images of the Aurora Borealis Over the U.S.

BY NEHA PRAKASH From Mashable

Thanks to the occurrence of two solar flare-induced geomagnetic storms this week, New England’s sky was lit up with the Aurora Borealis.

Usually the dazzling colors are only visible in regions like Iceland, Norway and Finland, but America got a small dose of the kaleidoscope of colors on Friday.

Overcast conditions did make it harder to witness the phenomenon, but some lucky sky-gazers managed to

capture the breathtaking sight and share the images on social media.

Take a look at views of the Aurora Borealis from states like Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire — and even an out-of-this word image taken by astronaut Reid Wiseman.
