KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Aurora Borealis was visible across the Kansas City area Sunday evening.
While not all portions of the metro were able to see the lights due to light pollution, long-exposure cameras captured the phenomenon.
KSHB 41 Weather’s own Jeff Penner caught a glimpse from north of 179th.
I believe this is the Aurora looking north from 179th. The pic is a bit brighter than in reality. @KSHB41 pic.twitter.com/OHK2ewxZq0

And viewer Dave Steward photographed the lights around 9:45 p.m. in Smithville, Missouri, using a 4-minute exposure on his Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Another viewer, Dave Fangrow, also captured the Aurora Borealis using a 3-5 minute exposure on his phone.
Just about a month ago, the Northern Lights were visible in portions of Kansas and Missouri thanks to a major solar storm.
