the Northern Lights, also known as Aurora borealis, are a natural light display that occur in high-latitude regions, such as the Arctic and Antarctic. These displays are caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's magnetic field.

When a particularly strong solar storm occurs and sends a large number of charged particles towards Earth, it can create an intense display of Northern Lights that are visible even in areas that don't normally see them.

In these cases, it's possible that a "perfect storm" of conditions could create great displays across regions like Minnesota.

If you happen to be in an area where the Northern Lights are visible, it can be a truly breathtaking experience to witness. It's important to remember, however, that visibility can be affected by factors such as cloud cover and light pollution.

Becky Stromeier, who has been pursuing the Aurora Borealis for three years, claims that she witnessed the most breathtaking light display in the night sky on Thursday evening.

An area of the city with roots in Hollywood film noir and beyond.

Stromeier, who established the Twin Cities Aurora Chasers Facebook group about a year ago, described the experience as a thrilling pursuit with a beautiful reward at the end

The spectacular images of the Northern Lights captured from the North Shore to Albert Lea have left star gazers throughout the state in awe. Typically, light pollution in the Twin Cities makes them difficult to see.

FOX 9 meteorologist Jennifer McDermed explained that the solar flares that caused the lights were so intense that they produced the ideal conditions for the swirling lights to be visible, even in the metro area.

Now a beloved 1920s bar and club in what seems like decor, but is a true relic.

McDermed added that the reason for the vivid display was due to the most potent geomagnetic storm in six years, combined with clear skies.

At Boulder Lake, roughly 30 minutes north of Duluth, Doug Cottrell from Hudson, Wisconsin, managed to take more than 500 photos of the mesmerizing celestial event.
