Northern lights puts on show for stargazers across parts of Philadelphia regionproduced stunning displays of color in the skies across parts of the Philadelphia region early Saturday morning.

This is NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center's first severe geomagnetic storm watch in nearly 20 years. When these ejections head toward Earth, taking as long as days or as little as 15 hours, they cause geomagnetic storms, which are disturbances in the magnetic field around the planet. Quicker clearing of skies just before dawn in our region allowed for better chances to see the northern lights Saturday. The celestial show was captured from South Jersey to northeastern Pennsylvania.
