Detroit Lakes, MN (KDLM) – The hype surrounding last weekend’s anticipated northern lights display didn’t live up to expectations, but what northern Minnesotans saw last night more than made up for the weekend disappointment. Another geomagnetic storm fueled by the sun led to a dazzling display of the aurora borealis Wednesday night through Thursday morning.

If you missed the display on Wednesday night, the best way to rewatch it is from the University of North Dakota’s aurora cam.
