There was a chance the Aurora Borealis was going to be visible in the northern part of Missouri Tuesday night. Turns out, glimpses of it were seen clearly in Kansas City.

Geomagnetic storms brought the northern lights to parts of the United States last night, turning the night sky into shades of green and pink. The phenomenon was spotted across Missouri and Kansas, and other states like Iowa, New York, Oklahoma, Texas and Washington . It was even visible south in Florida and Alabama.
