Residents across the Philadelphia suburbs took to social media on Thursday night posting images of a rare display of the aurora borealis.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a severe geomagnetic storm watch for Thursday night into early Friday morning, following a coronal mass ejection from the sun several days ago. By 8 p.m. on Thursday, local Facebook pages and groups were awash in hues of teal and pink, as community members posted their images of the aurora.
Access Network’s photographer, James Short, made his way around the area to capture images of the rarely seen phenomenon. Check out his photos below!
