Northern lights paint the Colorado sky Thursday night: Photos

The aurora borealis painted the Colorado night sky in a wonderful array of colors Thursday night – and our reliable shutterbugs in the Discover Colorado | Through Your Photos group on Facebook were there to capture it once again .

The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center’s aurora forecast had the view line just grazing the far northeast corner of the state Thursday, but stargazers as far south as Ouray were treated to a spectacular show.

The National Weather Service in Boulder said it was even fielding reports in Denver, where light pollution can often dilute celestial events.

Take a look at a few of our favorite photos and join the photography group to take part in the fun.
