A large solar flare on Thursday was expected to lead to heightened aurora activity this weekend but not as far south as Colorado. One Thornton resident however appears to have captured images of the northern lights Sunday morning.
The images by Justin Whitesel show a purple sky over the city as the geomagnetic storm hits the Earth. You can view an animation Whitesel put together here.
