Want to see the northern lights, aurora borealis in NYC? Here's your forecast for tonight.
A coronal mass ejection erupted from the sun Tuesday and is projected to arrive at Earth sometime on Thursday.which, if they are strong enough, can produce brighter and more active displays of the northern lights that can be seen further south from the pole and even, in cases like this one, as far south as the United States.
The moon should not be too intrusive, either. As the brightest object in the night sky, the moon serves as its own form of light pollution. When trying to view the sky, a new moon is ideal while a full moon can be a hindrance.Thursday has neither of these. Instead, the moon will be in its first quarter phase, meaning there will be some unavoidable light, but nothing too detrimental.
But before you grab your camera and head upstate, make sure you also grab a jacket, if not the hat and gloves as well. Thursday night is forecast to be the chilliest night our area has seen since April.
