(Tim Durkan Photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The beautiful sunshine in Seattle on Saturday gave way to an equally awesome display in the night sky as the northern lights made a rare appearance over the city and parts of Washington state.<\/p>\n<p>Photographer Tim Durkan, who captured a similar display last May, was at it again in the wee hours of Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust home from an amazing \u2018Saturday Night Special\u2019 Aurora Borealis over the Emerald City \u2013 WOW\u2026!\u201d Durkan wrote on Facebook. \u201cI got to the party a little late last night (around 2am) but heard it was bright all over the state!! Did you catch a glimpse or even a photo? Lets see it in the comments!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The aurora was the result of an outburst of charged particles from the sun, known as a coronal mass ejection or CME, which swept over Earth\u2019s magnetic field. SpaceWeather.com said the CME seemed to have only a weak effect at first, but then the storm swept through a crack in the field and sparked surprisingly vivid displays as far south as Arizona.<\/p>\n<p>Other astro types had their eyes \u2014 and camera lenses \u2014 on the skies, too. Astronomer\/educator Alice Enevoldsen&nbsp;inspired a spur-of-the-moment observing campaign in West Seattle that circulated between Don Armeni Boat Ramp and Myrtle Reservoir Park.<\/p>\n<p>City lights tend to interfere with the show and long-exposure images provide the most dramatic viewing when&nbsp;aurora occurs.<\/p>\n<p><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" class=\"\" style=\"position: absolute;
