On Friday, May 10, night to Saturday, May 11, the northern lights (Aurora borealis) could be seen through Latvia.

Such bright northern lights, visible with the naked eye even under the city lights, are a rare phenomenon.

Pēc desmitiem bļāvēņu pēdējos gados, beidzot Latvijā spoža ziemeļblāzma, kas labi redzama un baudama bez fotoaparātu un fotošopu pastiprinājumiem. Pat pilsētas gaismās redzama. https://t.co/n14KbzdCjh

Social media flooded with observations of the colorful lights.
