ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A severe solar storm impacting Earth brought northern lights to portions of the U.S. on Thursday, including New Mexico. All across northern New Mexico, a rare spectacle of the northern lights could be seen. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, over the last several months the sun has been incredibly active, unleashing a series of coronal mass ejections from its surface. Five months ago, New Mexico saw the phenomenon of northern lights, but with less intensity. Send us your northern lights photos to [email protected].
