BALDWIN, Mich. — Some of the best entertainment this Labor Day weekend was happening above us!

The Northern Lights dazzled us with an encore show Friday, Sept. 2 following a previous showing Thursday night across the skies in northern Michigan.

FOX 17 photojournalist Shawn DeWeerd captured these photos of the lights in the sky over Baldwin.

The Northern Lights result when gaseous particles collide in the Earth’s atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun’s atmosphere, according to NASA.

We want to see your photos too! If you captured any, submit them using the link below.
