PHOTOS: New Mexicans snap pictures of aurora borealis
NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – Residents all over the state saw something special Friday night: the northern lights.
For hundreds of years, the display known as “aurora borealis” has been taking place near Earth’s poles. The sun’s activity has a direct impact on when the northern lights appear.
On Friday night, many Americans could witness the lights for themselves, including New Mexicans. See viewer-submitted photos below.
Will Americans see the northern lights again Saturday night?
