Boston.com readers stepped outside Tuesday night to capture a rare sight: the Northern Lights illuminating the skies across Boston and New England.
The aurora borealis, caused by a strong geometric storm, painted the night sky in vivid pinks, greens, and blues — and readers were quick to share their stunning photos.
Ahead see some of the best reader-submitted shots.
Missed the show? Meteorologists say you can still catch the Northern Lights Wednesday evening.
