"You don't have to travel to Iceland to see the Northern Lights - if you're in New England, you may be able to simply look outside. Dazzling aurora borealis illuminated Boston-area skies Tuesday night, caused by a geomagnetic storm. The lights, ranging from blue to green to pink, were visible across the nation and in several areas in Massachusetts. If you missed it, there's still a chance to see the Northern Lights Wednesday, according to WBZ-TV meteorologist Eric Fisher."
"Tonight was one for the books! The Northern Lights showed up right here in Massachusetts...in the suburbs of Boston. Even visible with the naked eye (very visible with the iPhone camera). Didn't need a trip to Iceland for this one. 😜🌌 pic.twitter.com/oUwb7IRLtk- Jon Miksis - Global Viewpoint (@JonMiksis) November 12, 2025 Northern Lights putting on a show in Sterling MA pic.twitter.com/AMRAOKp91H- Gary Kolanda (@GaryKolanda) November 12, 2025 @ericfisher @KevinBoston25 Down in Falmouth Heights pic.twitter.com/6lIqkZXAre- Shawn Avery (@mr_avery) November 12, 2025"
"Northern lights right now in Massachusetts (Easton)! pic.twitter.com/okjMx7nxbs- Nick Russo (@nickVrusso) November 12, 2025 Northern Lights actually visible to the naked eye right now on the South Shore, and even more noticeable when you take a photo with 10 second exposure, as seen here #MAwx pic.twitter.com/fgTVdtkJ9C- Michael Page (@MichaelPageWx) November 12, 2025 I am super impressed how durable the naked-eye viewing is in Boston right now, considering all the light pollution! pic.twitter.com/5ZCMTtyhLS- Eric Fisher (@ericfisher) November 12, 2025"
Dazzling aurora borealis lit New England and Boston-area skies during a geomagnetic storm, producing bands and colors from blue to green to pink. The phenomenon was visible across the nation and in several Massachusetts locations, including Boston suburbs, Sterling, Falmouth Heights, Easton, and the South Shore. Observers reported naked-eye visibility in many places and stronger appearance in smartphone photos or long-exposure images. The aurora persisted into Tuesday night with a continued chance of visibility on Wednesday. Viewing remained notable despite urban light pollution, with multiple eyewitness photos shared on social media.
