But for those who have seeing the Northern Lights on their bucket list, this might be a rare chance to do so without a plane ticket.<doc-sep>A geomagnetic storm is said to be hitting Earth on Saturday, which is expected to cause northern lights in northern regions of the globe. The northern lights could potentially be seen in the northern-most United States. The northern lights will be most visible at night when it's dark. People who wouldn't usually expect to see colorful northern lights may get a chance to experience the night sky show on Saturday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issued a moderate geomagnetic storm watch alert on Friday, saying that the storm watch is in effect for Saturday. According to NOAA's chart, the northern lights will likely extend down to upstate New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, the Dakotas, Montana, northern Idaho, and Washington state. NOAA The geomagnetic storm that's causing the northern lights began on Friday, but the lights themselves are only likely to be visible at night. When to look out for the northern lights Residents in the northern-most United States will have the highest chance of seeing the northern lights when it gets dark on Saturday. The sun will begin to set in New York and northeastern states at 7:11 p.m. According to NOAA's forecast, the northern lights will be most visible in the northeastern United States starting at around 10:55 p.m. NOAA The Canadian Space Agency's tips on how to watch the northern lights Despite the unusually high likelihood that people further south on Earth could see the northern lights, catching them won't be a given. Luckily, the Canadian Space Agency has some tips which we've quoted below: Consult the weather forecast before leaving. Cloud cover obscures the aurora. If possible, choose a night without moonlight. The bright glare of the Moon—especially the full Moon—illuminates the night sky and makes fainter auroras invisible. (BI: Unfortunately, the moon will be 92% illuminated on Saturday night, making for less ideal conditions to see the northern lights clearly). Dress warmly and choose a location with dark skies. Light pollution from bright city lights makes it difficult to see the aurora. If the aurora is moving slowly, keep your eyes peeled! The intensity can change very rapidly at any moment. Look around you in all directions. During periods of heightened activity, the aurora can appear anywhere in the sky, not just on the northern horizon. Some experts aren't too optimistic “I would not drive out of my way for this particular event,” said Terry Onsager, a physicist at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, told The New York Times. Onsager said there's no guarantee that the geomagnetic storm will actually hit earth, and if it does, it will do so in the middle of the day on Saturday when the northern lights are least visible. The best chance to see the lights would be at night. There might also be cloud cover in many parts of the northeast, according to Ohio-based NBC4 meteorologist Ben Gelber, who also spoke with The New York Times. Despite Gelber's predictions about cloud cover, it's still a good idea to look at your own area's weather forecast. Syracuse, NY, where the northern lights could potentially be seen, is forecasted for a clear night on Saturday.

The stunning natural light show may be visible as far south as New York and Chicago on Saturday night thanks to an incoming geomagnetic storm, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center said. The northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, occur when electrons that are emitted from the sun’s surface collide with oxygen and nitrogen atoms in Earth’s magnetic field. These collisions cause the electrons to release their energy in the form of light — resulting in the dazzling phenomenon. The Southern Hemisphere has its own version, known as the southern lights or the aurora australis. NOAA issued a geomagnetic storm watch for Saturday as a result of a solar flare that struck on Wednesday. The northern lights are visible in places like northern Canada, Alaska and the Arctic. If they do reach parts of the Northeast and Midwest, the best viewing would be in areas away from city lights and in clear, cloudless skies.<doc-sep>
Breathtaking Northern Lights May Be Visible From Washington to New York This Weekend People in the northern part of the United States may be in for quite a nighttime show this weekend. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, sections of the country stretching from New York to Washington may see an aurora borealis starting on Saturday. That’s because the sun released a massive solar flare on Wednesday that created a cloud of slower-moving charged particles — called a coronal mass ejection — that will hit the planet this weekend, CNET reported. When these charged particles hit Earth’s atmosphere, they cause electrons to move to a higher energy state, and when they move back to a lower state, they release light, which just so happens to create the beautiful spectacle we have come to know as the Northern and Southern Lights. But if the aurora does hit the Northern U.S., skies will have to be clear for people to see it. “The Northern Lights may be visible Saturday night. This will pair with completely clear skies,” wrote meteorologist Joe Charlevoix on Twitter. “This is not a guarantee but conditions are favorable,” he added.

Typically, people in the mainland U.S. will have to travel hundreds of miles to Alaska or Canada to catch an aurora. Other great places for visibility include Iceland, Norway, Greenland, Tasmania and New Zealand. As CNET notes, one of the most powerful solar storms in history occurred in 1859, and which caused an aurora that could be seen around the world and caused telegraph wires to light aflame.
