Aurora Borealis Expected This Weekend
Rare chance to see the Northern Lights
Geomagnetic storm expected to bring aurora to parts of the US
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a geomagnetic storm watch for this weekend, which means there is a chance to see the aurora borealis, or Northern Lights, in parts of the United States.
The aurora is a natural light display in the sky, caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's atmosphere. The most common colors of the aurora are green and red, but they can also be blue, purple, and yellow.
The best time to see the aurora is during the winter months, when the nights are longer and the sky is darker. The aurora is most commonly seen in the northern parts of the United States, such as Alaska, Maine, and Minnesota, but it can also be seen in other parts of the country, such as New York and Pennsylvania.
If you're hoping to see the aurora, it's important to find a location with clear skies and little light pollution. You can check the NOAA website for a forecast of the aurora activity in your area.
