For the second time since May, people in the U.S. as far south as New Mexico were able to see the brilliant Northern Lights on Thursday night. The Northern Lights, also called aurora borealis, are a result of the earth’s magnetic field interacting with charged particles released from the sun. Typically, It’s a view reserved for those in higher altitudes. But last night, Wichita Eagle visual journalist Travis Heying captured those lights in all their glory in McPherson County, Kansas.
