Aurora Borealis can be seen in the final northern sky tonight

Skygazers in the northern region of the United States and Canada can look at the northern glow on Wednesday night and Thursday. NOAA’s Cosmic Time Prediction Center issued Geomagnetic Storm G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm for April 16, when the plasma is expected to be expected from the sun to reach the Earth’s magnetic field. The small conditions of the geomagnetic storm are likely to last until April 17, the agency reports.

The color lights scattered through the night sky are caused by geomagnetic storms in our atmosphere, and SWPC pays attention to when they can occur. Geomagnetic storms in the atmosphere can arise from a cosmic phenomenon called a coronal mass. These increasing tosses of the solar wind come from the crown, the outer layer of the sun. CME consist of plasma and magnetic fields and can take hours or days to reach the ground.

When CMES arrives, they cause disturbance in our atmosphere by disturbing the magnetic field of our planet. This creates geomagnetic storms. Expecting earlier than expected, the first CME arrived early on Tuesday, SpaceWeather.com reportedS

The prognosis for NOAA’s space weather conditions Sean Dahl told CNET that there is a chance for G4 (heavy) levels if the CME magnetic field becomes favorable.

“By that I mean the CME magnetic field should be opposite to the ground to get a good geomagnetic reaction,” Dahl said. “Think of this as the opposite polarity magnets that attract.”

Where can you see Aurora?

Most places in the United States will not be able to see Aurora Borealis, but people in the most rage areas (especially Alaska) and Canada can get a chance to see the lights. However, clouds, rain and snow can make it difficult to see.

For the best chance of seeing it, according to AccuweatherYou will need to have an unobstructed view of the northern horizon and use photography with prolonged exposure to You catch images of the phenomenonS

Thehe Northern Lights have certain times of the year When it is more likely to be observed. You have the best chance of catching Aurora Borealis in March, April, September and October, as these are the months near the spring and autumn equinoxes, when the situation of the Earth to the Sun is ideal for geomagnetic storms.

“The equal varieties are the transition points between which the hemisphere is tilted to the sun,” said Shannon Schmol, director of the Abrams Planetarium, in front of CNET last month. “At this point, the Earth’s magnetic field is at a more favorable angle, closer to the perpendicular, which allows for easier interaction of the loaded solar particles with the magnetic field and the atmosphere of the Earth.”

April is a good month for watching the northern glow because we are on the solar energy-the senior of the highest solar activity in the 11-year sunny cycle.

“During this time, we expect to see more sunspots and therefore there is a greater chance of space time with a high impact of every day,” Elsai Talaat, Director of the Space Observation Service in the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration, said last OctoberS

So if you live where Aurora Borealis can be seen tonight, be sure to go from the city lights and explore the night sky north.
