Northern Lights Expected to Illuminate Vermont Skies
Aurora Borealis Possible This Weekend at...
Get ready for a spectacular light show!
For the first time in months, the northern lights—also called the aurora borealis—are possible this weekend in Vermont. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a geomagnetic storm watch for Saturday and Sunday, meaning that activity is likely to increase.
The best time to see the aurora is typically between 10 pm and 2 am, when the sky is darkest. The lights are most likely to be visible in the northern part of the state, but they can sometimes be seen as far south as Burlington.
If you're hoping to catch a glimpse of the northern lights, find a spot with a clear view of the northern horizon. The darker the sky, the better your chances of seeing the lights. And be sure to dress warmly, as temperatures will be cold.
The northern lights are a truly amazing sight. They're caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's magnetic field. The lights can take on a variety of colors, including green, red, and purple.
If you're lucky enough to see the northern lights, be sure to take it all in. They're a truly magical experience.
