Connecticut and much of the country were treated to quite the light show Thursday night.

The Northern Lights were visible from much of the state, adding a spectacular display of color to the sky.

Space forecasters had issued a severe geomagnetic storm warning after a strong solar flare and coronal mass ejection began on Tuesday.

Normally the Northern Lights can be seen much further north, towards the Arctic Circle, but the geomagnetic storm was so strong that it produced brilliant colors at more southern latitudes.

Although the severity of the geomagnetic storm has subsided, there is still a chance we could see the Aurora Borealis again in Connecticut on Friday evening.

If it does happen, it likely won’t be as intense or widespread as Thursday.

To give yourself the best chance of seeing them, you’ll want to be in a dark location, away from light pollution. The best time to see them is shortly after sunset.

We received hundreds of photos from Thursday’s light show from viewers across Connecticut. If you take photos of the Northern Lights on Friday evening, please share them with us here.
