MT 43 News Staff Reporter
If you were out of town last weekend, you missed a fabulous show of aurora borealis or the Northern Lights. Amateur and professional photographers alike were able to record hues of green, purple, red and blue late into Friday and Saturday nights, no matter where they were in the county.
An aurora borealis is caused by unusually severe storms shooting out from the sun, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center, part of NOAA, in Boulder, Colorado, this display was the most intense in this area since 2005. The center predicted the strong aurora could cause interference with satellite communication and electrical connections.
