Northern lights may enhance New Year celebrations in U.S. skies

Credited from: NPR

  • Northern lights, or aurora borealis, may be visible across parts of North America beginning Tuesday night, coinciding with New Year's celebrations.
  • The display is attributed to coronal mass ejections from the sun, leading to a significant geomagnetic storm across the Northern Hemisphere.
  • Expected visibility ranges from northern states to parts of the lower Midwest and Oregon, thanks to this year's heightened solar activity.
  • Tuesday and possibly Wednesday nights are optimal for viewing, as the new moon enhances visibility conditions.
  • For the best experience, it's advised to find dark areas away from city lights and monitor forecasts via aurora apps or NOAA's website.
