Photos: Northern Lights shine in Florida; second chance to see them tonight

The Brief

  • The Northern Lights dazzled across the U.S. late Tuesday night – even visible as far south as Florida.
  • What are the Northern Lights? The lights, called auroras, are “vibrant light displays created when energetic particles from the Sun interact with Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere.”
  • Can I see them again in Florida? There is another chance to see them on Wednesday night. You likely will not be able to see them with the naked eye, but you may be able to pick up some of the colors with a cell phone.
  • Your photos: Share them with us at FOX35Orlando.com/share. We’ll showcase some of them in a photo gallery below.
