On the night of May 10th, Earth was blasted by the strongest solar storm in decades. Auroras were seen across the globe, dazzling millions of people. They were visible as far south as the Caribbean, Hawaii, Africa, and even South America.

This photo is from near my backyard in Las Vegas, with brilliant red and magenta pillars of Northern Lights shining in the sky. Even a little green and yellow, although washed-out by Light Pollution from the city.
