U.S. Locations to Witness Northern Lights on Thursday Night
Recent solar activity has led to spectacular displays of the Northern Lights, particularly visible in various U.S. locations. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the sun are causing these extraordinary auroras to extend further south than usual.
U.S. Locations to Witness Northern Lights
On Wednesday night and early Thursday, the first wave of auroras reached several states. This phenomenon was noted primarily in the northern regions of the United States.
States Experiencing Auroras
- Minnesota
- Wisconsin
- Michigan
These states, along with others near the Canadian border, reported sightings of the shimmering lights. The auroras were visible throughout the night, enchanting both locals and visitors alike.
What are Coronal Mass Ejections?
CMEs are large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the sun’s corona. When these charged particles collide with Earth’s magnetic field, they can produce vibrant light displays known as auroras.
As solar activity continues, more opportunities to witness this natural phenomenon may arise in the coming nights. Enthusiasts and curious observers should stay updated on forecasts for additional sightings of the Northern Lights across the U.S.
