ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The skies over some parts of the Rochester area turned green, red, and purple on Monday night.
The northern lights were in full swing. Like the Earth, the sun has a magnetic field and its cycles of energy levels every 11 years can create the dazzling lights. We spoke with RMSC’s director about what causes the northern lights.
Here are some photos of the northern lights that viewers shared with us through Facebook. If you took a photo of the northern lights that you would love to see on-air or online, email it to webmaster@whec.com.
