Northern Lights Visible Across Illinois Amid Rare Geomagnetic Storm
Rare Geomagnetic Storm
A rare geomagnetic storm has made the Northern Lights visible across parts of Illinois. The storm, which is caused by a solar flare, is expected to continue for several hours.
Northern Lights Visible
The Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis, are a natural light display that occurs when the solar wind interacts with the Earth's magnetic field. The lights are typically visible in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, but they can sometimes be seen as far south as Illinois.
The geomagnetic storm that is currently underway is one of the strongest in recent years. It is expected to produce a bright and colorful display of the Northern Lights.
Illinois Night Sky
The Northern Lights are expected to be visible in Illinois tonight between 8:00 PM and 11:00 PM. The best viewing locations are in areas with clear skies and low light pollution.
If you are in Illinois, be sure to look up tonight and enjoy the rare sight of the Northern Lights.
