The northern lights illuminated the midnight sky Friday into Saturday, seen here from Osgood Pond. Energetic particles shot from the sun duing a solar storm collided with gases in Earth’s atmosphere, turning the sky green and making columns of light dance overhead. Cameras with long exposure times capture the light more fully, but with patience, waves of these particles crashing through the sky could be seen cruising overhead at millions of miles per hour.
