Early risers in Spokane, Washington, were treated to a stunning aurora on Tuesday, September 17, amid a
geomagnetic storm.This timelapse footage from the National Weather Service (NWS) shows a green streak of light wafting through the sky.An
earlier post from the NWS’s Spokane office read: “I could still see the aurora dancing about this morning when I went out to launch the weather balloon at 4 am, as well as our neighboring satellite ‘the moon’ shining bright off to the west.”On Monday night, the NWS
issued a geomagnetic storm alert for the early hours of Tuesday morning. Credit: NWS Spokane via Storyful
