Missed the Aurora light show last night? Here are some amazing pics from people who got out of the City — the only way you could see the show over the City light pollution — to take a look at the solar storm.
A major solar storm made the famous Northern Lights faintly visible in the New York–area sky last night, creating the perfect opportunity to snap some #nofilter 'grams. New Yorkers who followed our plan and got out of the city to a dark, deserted area were treated to some pretty spectacular views.
