Will the Delaware Valley have a second opportunity to view the Northern Lights Saturday?
Friday night, much of the globe was treated to a rare glimpse of the Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, thanks to enhanced solar flare activity from the sun.But, in the Delaware Valley? Cloud cover ruled most of the night and into Saturday morning limiting any visual sighting of the incredible light display dancing across the sky.However, some in northern parts of New Jersey caught a glimpse of the lights after 3 a.m., as well as in western Pennsylvania.
The sun constantly sends charged energy. Some of that spills into the sky around the North Pole, where Earth's magnetic field comes together. That charged energy interacts with air way up in the sky to create the Northern Lights near the North Pole. When much bigger blasts of that charged energy sun hits Earth, the Northern Lights move farther south.So the next time you hear a "G5" geomagnetic storm, and our skies are clear, head out after sunset through 1 a.m. and start taking pictures.
A lot of times, you won't see the Northern Lights with your own eyes around here, but your camera will.If you happen to be up late, go out when the skies are clear and take some pictures. It's unlikely the Northern Lights will still be around, but it's worth a shot if you're up.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
