Aurora Borealis likely in parts of Maine this week

The rare space sights could spread to a lower 48 this week.According to NOAA forecasts, the coronal mass ejection is expected to reach Earth on February 1-2, 2022.With the arrival of charged particles from the sun, there is a chance to see the Northern Lights in parts of Maine.

Northern Maine has the best chance of seeing the Northern Lights, but the solar storm may be strong enough to extend the light show further south.For best viewing, find a dark location away from any light pollution.The green glow of the Northern Lights is likely to be low on the horizon.Stronger storms produce more color and can stretch across the night sky.
If the light show is obstructed by clouds, there is still a chance to see the Northern Lights, Forbes said.The current solar cycle is rising, which means that the frequency of coronal mass ejections and solar flares is increasing.

The Northern Lights are caused by ejected charged particles that hit our atmosphere and are pulled towards the Earth’s magnetic poles.As they pass through the atmosphere, they release energy in the form of light.NOAA gives a more in-depth explanation here.
