A blast from the sun has created a massive geomagnetic storm that is creating an incredible visual spectacle for the US.

Many Americans across the country were able to see the Northern Lights.

For people in many places, the most visible part of the storm will be the northern lights, known also as auroras. But authorities and companies will also be on the lookout for the event’s effects on infrastructure, like global positioning systems, radio communications and even electrical power.

While the northern lights are most often seen in higher latitudes closer to the North Pole, people in many more parts of the world are already getting a show this weekend that could last through the early part of next week.

I was not awake at 2AM this morning so I missed my chance to see it.

Did anyone see it? Open thread about it, please.
