PENNSYLVANIA, USA — A chance to see the Northern Lights? In Pennsylvania?
Yes, there is a chance on Thursday night, as an unusually strong geomagnetic storm may cause the aurora borealis, otherwise known as the Northern Lights, to be visible in the night sky.
The Space Prediction Center's forecast indicates that the northern half of the country may have the opportunity to see the show, including Pennsylvania.
However, if the conditions are just right, some may see it as far south as Alabama.
To view the Northern Lights, it is recommended to look over the northern horizon just after sunset through just before sunrise. To capture a photo, viewers can try using a low-exposure setting on their camera.
The weather forecast looks great for this particular viewing.
