Northern Lights to Illuminate California Skies
Rare Aurora Borealis Forecast
Space enthusiasts and California residents are in for a celestial treat as a strong aurora borealis is predicted to light up the skies over North America Friday night and into Sunday.
Exceptional Sightings Expected
According to space weather forecasts, the aurora borealis may be visible in parts of California, including the San Francisco Bay Area, Sacramento, and the Sierra Nevada mountains, as early as Saturday night. This is a rare occurrence for the state, especially during the spring months.
Forecast and Viewing Guide
The aurora is a natural phenomenon caused by charged particles from the sun interacting with Earth's magnetic field. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a 30 to 90-minute forecast for the aurora's location and intensity on its website. Observers are recommended to find a location with minimal light pollution for the best viewing experience.
