Aurora Borealis to Dance Over North America Friday Night
Rare, Strong Aurora Expected
Spectacle May Be Visible from Far Away
Space enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting a rare and powerful aurora borealis that is forecasted to illuminate the skies over North America on Friday night. The celestial display is expected to be visible as far south as California and could even be seen as far away as 1,000 kilometers from its center.
The aurora borealis, commonly known as the Northern Lights, is a natural light display that occurs when charged particles from the sun's solar wind interact with Earth's magnetic field. The resulting colors and patterns can be breathtaking, with hues of green, red, purple, and blue often dancing across the sky.
The forecast for Friday night predicts a strong aurora, with the highest probability of visibility in areas such as Alaska, Canada, and the northern United States. However, with clear skies and minimal light pollution, the aurora may also be visible in more southern locations, including parts of California.
