The colorful Northern Lights were glowing in the night sky, according to skywatchers who posted photos on social media
This rare glimpse of the Northern Lights glowing in the sky over Metuchen, New Jersey, was captured by Collin Gross, a meteorology student at Rutgers University, in May 2024. Several people reported seeing the lights late Sunday night, Aug. 11, and early Monday, Aug. 12.Sightings were also reported in parts of the Lehigh Valley in eastern Pennsylvania and in St. Lawrence County in upstate New York.
It’s not yet clear whether the Northern Lights will be visible from New Jersey again on Monday night, but the annual Perseid meteor shower will still be in its peak period tonight through early Tuesday. The shower can generate as many as 50 to 100 meteors per hour in dark locations, assuming skies in your viewing area are clear.Tornado watch extended in 11 N.J. counties, parts of Pa. and N.Y.
