NYC Lights Up With the Aurora Borealis: Stunning Photos Capture the Phenomenon

New Yorkers were treated to a rare and breathtaking celestial display last night as the aurora borealis, or northern lights, painted the sky with vibrant hues of green and purple.

Social media was abuzz with excitement as people shared their photos and videos of the spectacle, with many expressing astonishment at the aurora's unexpected appearance over the city.

What is the Aurora Borealis?

The aurora borealis is caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's atmosphere. The particles are drawn towards the Earth's magnetic poles, creating a dazzling display of light in the sky.

While the northern lights are most frequently seen in regions like Alaska, Canada, and Scandinavia, strong solar activity can occasionally cause the phenomenon to be visible further south, as it was in New York City last night.
