Totally ‘Magical’ Photos of Northern Lights Captured Above Idaho

What on earth is a 'geomagnetic storm' and why were we experiencing on above Idaho over the weekend? While the scientific answers may be above our pay grade, sharing the pictures of this 'storm' certainly isn't!

We received word from the Northwest Weather Service going into the weekend that this peculiar kind of storm was going to impact Idaho--and while the name makes it sound like some sort of scary sci-fi nightmare, it's actually one of the most magical things ever!

The aurora borealis, also known as 'The Northern Lights' took to the skies above Idaho this past weekend!

Here's a look at some of our favorite photos from the weekend! What a view we had here in Idaho!

Were you able to see the aurora borealis this clearly from your home or neck of the woods? 

The images are amazing and many people have seeing these things towards the tops of their bucket lists--and it often requires traveling FAR from Idaho to see them. This weekend? Not so much.

We have a TON of locally submitted photos on our Facebook page that are from all over the State of Idaho and beyond! Tap in with us to see more and thanks to everyone who contributed!

Have you ever heard of a 'Blue Moon'? You may recall the stunning images taken over the Treasure Valley when it made its appearance in our night sky! 

Just last summer, a totally crazy lightning storm took to the skies of the Treasure Valley and we were able to share some amazing photos from that as well!
