The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are usually a rare sight in Massachusetts, but on the night of November 11th, residents across the state were treated to breathtaking glimpses of this natural phenomenon lighting up the night sky.

From Boston to Framingham and beyond, people captured stunning photos and videos of colorful auroras swirling above. Social media buzzed with excitement as viewers expressed awe and gratitude for witnessing such a beautiful spectacle in their own backyard.

Here are some of the best moments shared by locals and visitors alike:

“I am super impressed how durable the naked-eye viewing is in Boston right now, considering all the light pollution!”

“Framingham Aurora — it was muted, but I could see the red and the iPhone captured it really well, no editing needed.”

This surge in sightings was due to increased solar activity, making it a perfect opportunity for skywatchers and photographers to enjoy and share their moments.
