Aurora busting out all over

Tom Leonard spotted the aurora right over his house in Lower Allston - looking west on Athol Street - around 7:20 p.m.

Kevin D. Jordan spotted the lights around the Needham TV towers - and he reports that unlike last time, they were definitely visible with the naked eye, even if only briefly:

Johnah Saitz couldn't help but notice the aurora over Newton around 7:30:

Matthew Murray saw a greener aurora over Lane's Cove in Gloucester, around 8:50 p.m.:

Greg McKenna went outside to spot the lights over Roslindale around 7:30 p.m.:

Mary Ellen spotted it over West Roxbury, too:

Leonard adds he and his family didn't go out looking for the aurora, didn't even know there was a chance they'd see the lights:

It was definitely visible with the naked eye. My wife and I were taking our son for our evening walk and I was like “Woah look at the sky it’s completely red!” We both did a quick Google search for northern lights and saw a BBC article posted a few hours about how they’ll be visible tonight.

Seemed like it started in the west and moved east, but definitely was clearly visible without a camera.

Never thought I’d ever see the northern lights in Boston!
