A G4 geomagnetic storm impacted Earth Thursday Night, leading to some GPS glitches as well as a number of vibrant Northern Lights snapshots. Although this phenomena appears to be a little more common in recent years, it is still very rare to get a strong enough storm for this display to bee seen all the way down here in Central Illinois.
