"A burst of energy from the sun is set to hit Earth on Thanksgiving, triggering stunning northern lights in the night sky. Most of Washington, Montana, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Maine are positioned for potential auroras."
"Taking a picture with a smartphone camera may also reveal hints of the aurora that are not visible to the naked eye. Americans should step outside between 10pm ET and 1am ET to capture the best views, ideally away from bright city lights."
"'Power grid fluctuations can occur. High-latitude power systems may experience voltage alarms,' NOAA shared. 'Satellite orientation irregularities may occur; increased drag on low Earth-orbit satellites is possible.'"
"Northern lights - also known as the aurora borealis - are a natural light show that occurs when charged particles from the sun interact with Earth's magnetic field. Aurora are most commonly seen in the auroral zone - a region within 1,550 miles of the North Pole."
