The sky above the United States and Florida was filled with brilliant colors of green, pink, purple and red from northern lights after a historic geomagnetic storm blasted Earth on Friday, May 10 and Saturday, May 11.

The rare solar event gave millions of people the opportunity to witness a dazzling display of the aurora borealis as far south as Florida and Texas. However, the solar storm and the northern lights have finally started to wane.

If you missed the view on Friday or Saturday, check out the collection of images below.
