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:
Patty N. also looked up in West Roxbury, from the topmost soccer fields at Millennium Park around 8 p.m.:
Later in the evening, Ryan saw shimmering over the Jenga building and the Citgo sign in Kenmore Square around 10:15 p.m.:
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!
