Northern Lights Dazzle Michigan: Photos And Video
The Northern Lights put on a spectacular show Sunday night and Monday. We've put together a collection of pretty for your eyes.
Get ready for some pretty. The Northern Lights delivered in a spectacular way with green and purple lights dancing across the skies Sunday and Monday.
The solar flare that produced the aurora borealis display exploded on the sun late Thursday and early Friday morning, throwing a huge cloud of solar particles into space. According to the Weather Network, X-rays sent out by the solar storm knocked out radio power over parts of Asia.
