Northern Lights, light up night sky in Tri-state area: 'beautiful, violet, glow'

There's a chance for an encore on Friday.

In addition, the Friday night light show may include a comet in a rare and remarkable night sky extravaganza. 

The incredible images of the lights-in-the-sky phenomenon were many.
