The Northern Lights lit up the San Diego County sky over the weekend.
Why it matters: The most powerful solar storm in 20 years hit Earth on Friday, causing a celestial light show that's rarely viewable in the U.S. to spread across the country.
Lucky for us, local photographer Vishwas Lokesh captured the glow of aurora borealis from Mount Laguna in the Cleveland National Forest.
