The purple and pink lights were visible due to a Solar Storm, or a Coronal Mass Ejection from the sun on Tuesday, Oct. 8 which arrived in the area Thursday.

"I got a text from a friend about 30 minutes ago," said Joe Jenkins, of Poughkeepsie, NY, "so I ran out and looked due north. You couldn’t miss it."

The lights were clearly visible from 7:24 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

People from all over the world shared photos to X. Here are some photos from the Daily Voice coverage area:
