This aurora display following an X-class flare's arrive at earth was nothing short of incredible. It was by far the brightest, most vivid, and most colorful display I've ever seen, and this was shot in western Iowa. While it only went in spurts, the lights were so easily visible and so colorful that it tops any other display I've seen.
Aurora Borealis, Western Iowa A stunning display of the aurora borealis (northern lights). This was taken in Iowa, thus it was a shocking show to be able to see the lights so vividly this far south.
