POINT BREEZE – A spectacle in the sky of the Northern Lights drew any onlookers to Point Breeze on Friday night. Social media started to lighting up around 10 p.m. with photos and exclamations about the wonder.

I headed down to Point Breeze around 11 p.m. The colors weren’t as brilliant as some of the photos I saw posted but it’s still an awesome sight.

These two were among the people taking in the Northern Lights around 11 p.m. at Point Breeze.

NASA said this was one of the more intense CMEs (coronal mass ejections) in nearly two decades.
