The night’s skies lit up in purple, red, green and pink tones on the evening of Oct. 10.
Many in the Times News coverage area spotted the aurora borealis, or northern lights.
The phenomenon is rare in region, and is caused by the interaction between the Earth’s magnetic field and charged particles from the sun. The October occurrence was the second in the area in 2024. Many also spotted the northern lights in May, however, they were more widespread on Oct. 11. LYNN SHUPP PHOTOGRAPHY
