Dazzling Northern Lights surprised people across the US overnight when they made a rare appearance in temperate skies. The colorful, dancing lights are also known as the aurora borealis. They normally occur in the Arctic, but powerful eruptions on the sun caused them to stretch as far south as Phoenix, Arizona before sunrise on Friday, according to images shared by photographers and skywatchers on social media. —Dakota Snider (@dakotasnider) March 24, 2023 The aurora occurs when electrically charged particles stream from the sun and wash over Earth.
