Northern Lights Expected to Be Visible in Southern U.S. This Weekend

Aurora Borealis Predicted to Move Southward

Astronomers Predict Spectacular Display

Get ready for a celestial spectacle this weekend as the Northern Lights are expected to make a rare appearance in the southern United States.

According to the National Weather Service, the aurora borealis will be visible as far south as Alabama and Georgia on Saturday night.

The best time to catch the show will be between 9 p.m. and midnight, with some chances of visibility until 2 a.m.

This is a rare opportunity to see the Northern Lights in the southern U.S. The last time they were visible this far south was in 2023.

The Northern Lights are caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's magnetic field. These particles are drawn to the Earth's poles, which is why the Northern Lights are typically only visible in high-latitude regions.

However, during periods of high solar activity, the Northern Lights can be seen at lower latitudes. This weekend's display is expected to be particularly impressive due to a recent solar storm.

If you're in the southern U.S., be sure to look up at the sky this weekend for a chance to see this amazing natural phenomenon.
