This gallery contains images of aurora (northern lights) seen in and around Red Wing, Minnesota. Aurora are not usually visible at the latitude of Red Wing this far south, so it takes a strong solar storm to display them here. In April 2023, May 2024, and August 2024, we had such displays visible in Red Wing. See the following website for information about aurora and short-term predictions of northern lights displays: https://www.swpc.noaa.gov/phenomena/aurora
