The Northern Lights May Be Visible Over the United States Friday
The Northern Lights may be visible over the United States Friday night, according to the National Weather Service. The geomagnetic storm that is causing the aurora is expected to reach its peak on Friday night, and the best time to see the lights will be between 10pm and 2am. The lights may be visible as far south as Pennsylvania and New York.
The Northern Lights are a natural light display that occurs when charged particles from the sun interact with the Earth's magnetic field. The particles are drawn to the magnetic poles, and when they collide with atoms in the atmosphere, they create light. The color of the lights depends on the type of atom that is being excited.
The Northern Lights are a beautiful and awe-inspiring sight. If you are lucky enough to see them, be sure to take a moment to enjoy the show.
