The northern lights were visible across much of New England, including in Boston, Friday night as a powerful geomagnetic storm arrived from the sun.
The storm is categorized as a G5 — the highest on the scale — and is the most powerful since at least 2003. It brings the possibility of blackouts, but also allows the aurora borealis to be seen much farther south than usual.
