Northern lights in Indiana: Here's what Hoosiers saw over the weekend

The aurora borealis put on a dazzling light show in skies over the United States this weekend. Thanks to geomagnetic storms that pushed the northern lights further south, many Hoosiers caught a rare glimpse of pink, purple and green auroras gliding across Indiana.

"It's the best auroral display in Central Indiana in over 20 years," said Butler University Physics & Astronomy professor Brian Murphy in a message Saturday to IndyStar.

Here's a look at what people from Lake Michigan at Indiana Dunes State Park to just outside Indianapolis saw overhead.
