Due to a rare and extreme geomagnetic solar storm, the northern lights were visible across Ohio on Friday, May 10.
This storm was not anticipated very far in advance, only within days leading up to the weekend. Understandably, many of our readers and followers were bummed that they missed out, including me...
Hanna, here. I only learned of the visible northern lights when my dad sent me the picture above from northwest Ohio. I quickly hopped on Instagram to see hundreds of Ohioans sharing their views of the sky as well. It was breathtaking.
