Red & Green near Wichita Falls

When the aurora borealis – the Northern Lights – are visible in Texas, they are most often reddish in color. This is due to a combination of factors including the altitude at which charged particles from the Sun interact with elements in Earth’s atmosphere. Sometimes, though, us Texans are able to see a bright glimpse of green lights, as in this image from October 2024.
