The northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, are a stunning display of nature's magic. This light show happens when particles from the sun mix with Earth's magnetic field. When these charged particles crash into electrons, they create photons, which are tiny bits of light. This process is
The weather in New England is always a bit of a wildcard. It is not over yet. The remnants of last night's chill might bring a few snowflakes or sleet pellets in the early hours. It is not going to be a big deal. The snow will not stick around for long. The only places that might see a light du

Scientists predict that a party of charged particles from the Sun might disturb Earth's magnetic field, causing a geomagnetic storm. And if you get lucky, the storm might b
Imagine waking up on Christmas morning to a spectacular light show in the sky! A recent solar flare has led to a coronal mass ejection (CME) headed toward Earth, which could result in an aurora borealis over certain parts of the US on December 25.

Imagine the surprise of New Yorkers when the night sky lit up with a dazzling display of northern lights! This wasn't just any usual night; it was a special event that hadn't been seen in a long time. The New York Metro Weather shared a stunning photo of the vibrant purple and pink hues over the cit
This weekend, Michigan has a unique chance to witness the magical Northern Lights! Space weather experts predict a G3 geomagnetic storm from October 4th to 6th. This is due to some solar activity called coronal mass ejections. Basically, it means the Aurora Borealis might stretch as far south as Mic
