Aurora as seen 30 miles west of Philadelphia, PA on June 23, 2015.
Earth is experiencing an ongoing geomagnetic storm that started on June 22, 2015 due to the arrival of an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection, or CME, from a minor flare on June 20, 2015. Aurora were sighted in several mid-latitude locations, including Virginia, in the United States and in the United Kingdom.
“I have been waiting a long time to see the northern lights and this is been the best show I have ever seen here in Pennsylvania. I live 30 minutes west of Philadelphia and I could see them clearly with my own eyes” said photographer Jeff Berkes.
