Your social media feed is likely to have some photos of the Northern Lights in the Pittsburgh area.
A magenta or bright green glow was seen late last night in Butler, Raccoon Creek State Park, Evans City and Whitehall to name a few of the locations where the rare display of the northern lights was seen.
The Northern Lights can be seen so far south because of a huge solar storm sending a coronal mass ejection, or ball of plasma toward the earth.
That plasma interacts with the earth's magnetic field, causing what is also called the Aurora Borealis.
Unfortunately, the Northern Lights appear to be retreating and its unlikely they'll reach as far south as the Pittsburgh area on Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning.
The best time to catch the Aurora Borealis is between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., if you want try and seem them.
