Any glimpses of the aurora borealis in Wisconsin are usually reserved for the northern parts of the state. But Wisconsinites from Milwaukee to Madison were treated to a dazzling light show Sunday evening, as strong geomagnetic activity brought the northern lights to skies statewide.
Several Milwaukeeans reported pink-green aurora sightings from Atwater Park, while northern Wisconsinites glimpsed vivid red hues dancing across the sky.
Here are some of the best photos Wisconsinites captured of the aurora borealis this past weekend and when you might be able to see them next.

Can’t believe we caught the Northern Lights last night over by Atwater! It felt surreal being out there and seeing them like this in Milwaukee!

Go outside and look to the north! The glow your seeing is the Northern Lights. Then take a photo with your phone. None of these are edited, took them with S24 Ultra
