These fantastic sights happen when solar flares eject energetic debris toward the Earth. Molecules in the Earth’s magnetic field collide with the particles from the sun. The electrons activate the Ionosphere and the result is nothing short of natural art.

If you were lucky enough to catch this show, send some photos our way at wrtvnews@scripps.com.
