Let's check out a view of the Northern Lights — the celestial displays also known as aurora borealis — from Sixth Street and Avenue B this evening...
What's going on? Why can we see these here?

Per NBC 4: 
A coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted from the sun Tuesday and is projected to arrive at Earth sometime on Thursday. CMEs trigger geomagnetic storms which, if they are strong enough, can produce brighter and more active displays of the northern lights that can be seen further south from the pole and even, in cases like this one, as far south as the United States.
