The Northern Lights have indeed been visible across various parts of the United States, including cities like New York, Washington D.C., and Boston. This rare and widespread display was due to a strong geomagnetic storm.
Aurora visible in the Washington DC suburbs (Rockville, MD) this evening. Barely visible to the naked eye given competition from streetlights but shows up on iPhone. pic.twitter.com/1N6zmTroHA
