This Friday night, Hoosiers will have a unique and exciting opportunity.
The Space Weather Prediction Center predicts an upcoming severe Geomagnetic Storm that will hit the Earth overnight. As a result, there is a possibility for Hoosiers to witness the mesmerizing display of the Northern Lights.
In April 2023, a captivating celestial spectacle graced the skies of Indiana, offering Hoosiers a rare opportunity to witness the mesmerizing Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis. This enchanting phenomenon occurs when solar storms, triggered by the sun, intersect with the Earth’s magnetic field.
If you stay up late to catch a glimpse of the skies, you can expect clear conditions throughout the late evening. However, it’s possible that the skies may become partly cloudy by midnight in most places.
When observing the northern lights in Indiana, it is important to manage your expectations regarding the intensity and proximity of the green lights. Typically, when the aurora borealis is visible in this region, the lights tend to be less vibrant and situated lower on the northern horizon.
