<3> Forecasters Predict Spectacular Display of Aurora Borealis
The Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, could be visible in 10 U.S. states this Sunday, according to forecasters. The spectacle is expected to be particularly intense due to a solar flare that is causing a geomagnetic storm.
<4> Understanding the Science Behind the Northern Lights
The Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon that occurs when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere. This interaction causes the particles to collide with atoms and molecules in the atmosphere, resulting in the spectacular display of colored lights that we see in the sky.
Bloomberg reports that the aurora could be visible from states along the U.S.-Canadian border, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Ohio.
