People visit St Mary's lighthouse in Whitley Bay to see the aurora borealis, commonly known as the northern lights, on May 10, 2024 in Whitley Bay, England. The UK meteorology office said a strong solar storm may allow northern parts of the UK the chance to see displays of aurora.

As millions across the globe looked up over the weekend to catch a glimpse of the Aurora Borealis seen from so many different and unique vantage points, Catholics and Christians took to social media to bask in the celestial glory.

A rare severe geomagnetic storm watch was issued on Friday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration causing the northern lights to be visible to almost everyone across the United States and around the world. Some may even see some of the effects this evening.

We used to watch them when I was stationed in Alaska. :) The only problem was, they only came out really bright when it was just viciously cold---like 30 or 40 degrees below zero.

We used to drive our big Air Force trucks out to the far side of the base out of the lights, and sit on the hoods with the engines running (warmer that way) and watch the lights.

This was only when snow removal shifts were slow, and not much going on. Still against regulations, LOL. Your tax dollars at work. ;)
