Right now the earth is being hit with a geomagnetic storm from the sun. The technical explanation of what this means, though interesting, will for now take back-seat an opportunity that is coming as a consequence. You might be able to see the Northern Lights as far south as Alabama this weekend!
The solar flares responsible for this opportunity occurred on Wednesday. At least 5 of the solar flares are though to be directed towards earth, according to NOAA. If you are out late this weekend, look north. Even if you can’t see anything with the naked eye, if you have clear weather, try taking a long exposure photo. You might be able to photograph an aurora!
