Aurora Borealis, or northern lights, was seen from multiple states in the U.S. on Oct. 2, lighting up the sky in a magnificent show.
The natural phenomenon was seen from Minnesota, Iowa, and Montana, among other states.
This year and next are the best time for viewing the Aurora Borealis, according to Montana Outdoors.
“Scientists predict these glowing, horizon-wide arcs, bands, and wisps will occur more regularly and frequently in 2013 and 2014 than at any time in the past decade,” says the magazine.
The phenomenon happens from electrically charged particles colliding with gaseous particles in the Earth’s atmosphere.
