Aurora Borealis, Northern Lights, ancient spirits communicating from the dead, whatever you want to call them, it’s undeniable that they’re one of nature’s most beautiful sights.

While typically only seen in far north regions, a solar flare erupted on Friday that sent a geomagnetic storm towards the earth and caused the phenomena to be seen from as many as 30 states in the continental US.

It was an incredibly rare event and tons of photographers, amateur and professional alike, flocked to areas of little to no light pollution to see it for themselves and the results are absolutely gorgeous.

Here’s some photos taken from around the country.
