Magical Aurora Photos from October 10th’s Massive Solar Storm

There is nothing like watching the Aurora Borealis dance across the night sky. On October 10, just days after activity on the sun sent a massive solar burst Earth’s way, that ejection hit hurt and caused the Northern Lights to be seen as far south as Georgia and Tucson, Arizona.

From my home in Seattle, we had the recipe for a fantastic night of aurora chasing, though we did have to battle some intermittent clouds (and some that happened to arrive just as the 12:30 a.m. sky explosion arrived).

I started my night just north of Edmonds where my fiancee and I enjoyed the views for three hours. After dropping her off at home, I went to Golden Gardens to finish the evening.

Here are photos from last night’s solar event.
