The awe-inspiring Northern Lights showed up two consecutive nights in Wisconsin skies.
The aurora borealis phenomenon happened after a large cloud of plasma erupted into space last week. Particles from a coronal mass ejection arrived over Earth this weekend, causing a geomagnetic storm.
Here are some of the best photos from Saturday night/early Sunday morning in Wisconsin.
Northern Lights even spotted in Milwaukee where city lights are brighter
I still can’t believe the Northern Lights were visible in Milwaukee last night. Prentis Quearry snapped all of these 😍 pic.twitter.com/RbwdFEP2JD

Ok the Northern Lights thing was way more amazing than I imagined. Took these between 11:15 and 11:30 in Lion Den’s Gorge in Grafton about 20 miles north of Milwaukee pic.twitter.com/I1FWs0BQfJ
