Albany Residents Treated to Stunning Northern Lights Display last Night

Residents of Albany were treated to a breathtaking display of the Northern Lights last night, an unusual but spectacular phenomenon for the region. The vibrant colors danced across the sky, painting it in shades of green, pink, and purple, captivating onlookers who gathered in parks and open spaces to witness the celestial show. Many locals took to social media to share their excitement, posting photos and videos that captured the ethereal beauty of the auroras. This rare occurrence was attributed to heightened solar activity, which caused the lights to be visible much further south than usual.
