A beautiful sight in the night sky is going to be visible tomorrow evening – and remain there for two full days…but it’s not just any sort of celestial event. An alert for a geomagnetic storm over North America has been issued by some of the world’s foremost experts in natural events, and this is sure to be one of the coolest you will ever see.
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center revealed a G22 geomagnetic storm watch for Thursday, May 16th, 2019 – indicating a moderate affectation in the magnetic field surrounding Earth. Storms like this often create a more visible Aurora Borealis that extends far beyond its normal realm.
This beautiful spectacle should be visible in some of the northernmost states and will become fainter as it is seen in middle states, but will be not visible in the majority of the Southern states.
States like Washington, Montana, Minnesota, Michigan, New York, and most of the New England states will get the best view, but other states like Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Illinois, Ohio, Nebraska, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, West Virginia, and the northern part of Virginia will have points to see the event as well.
