Seeing the Northern Lights, aka, aurora borealis is a rare treat in these parts, but not unheard of.
A severe solar storm resulted in the spectacular colors of the Northern Lights visible on October 10 & 11. This is the second time this year the lights have been visible in southern Mass. The last was in May, also because of a strong solar storm.
