Northern Lights Expected to Illuminate Skies Across Multiple US States
TL;DR Summary
The Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, may be visible across Pennsylvania on Thursday night and Friday due to a strong geomagnetic storm predicted by the Space Weather Prediction Center. The storm is a result of several coronal mass ejections from the sun, which interact with Earth's atmosphere and magnetic field to create the aurora. The forecast calls for a peak Kp value of 7, which is necessary for the Northern Lights to be visible. The best viewing areas are rural locations with minimal light pollution and a clear view of the northern sky.
