Many people across the state reported seeing the Northern Lights on Friday night. Here’s why it’s happening.
The Northern Lights were once again visible in Connecticut, thanks to a solar storm that erupted from the sun’s surface earlier in the week.
The aurora will be visible through the early morning of Saturday with the best viewing time through 4 a.m.

Unlike the aurora event of October 2024, you won’t be able to see this with the naked eye, instead a long exposure camera will be needed.
