🌌 Rare Sky Show: Northern Lights Expected Over Western New York Heads up, stargazers! Western New York is in for a celestial treat as the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are expected to be visible this week thanks to a strong geomagnetic storm. This rare phenomenon, typically seen in far northern regions, could light up the skies over Buffalo, Rochester, and surrounding areas. According to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, a G3-level geomagnetic storm is boosting visibility far beyond its usual range. The best chance to catch the lights will be late tonight through early morning, with clear skies offering the best viewing. Tips for Best Viewing: • Head away from city lights • Look north between 10PM–2AM • Use long-exposure phone camera mode for visibility • Check real-time aurora maps to track activity 🌠 Why It Matters: The Northern Lights are caused by solar particles colliding with Earth’s atmosphere—a stunning natural reminder of the beauty beyond our world. For many in New York, this may be a once-in-a-lifetime view.
