Aurora chasers who braved cold nights in September and October in search of the northern lights will have new opportunities to capture the celestial phenomena in the coming days.
The lights will also appear in the U.S. over some of the northern and upper Midwest states from New York to Idaho, the NOAA announced.
The lights we see overhead are the highly-visible, charged particles from CMEs as they are captured by Earth’s magnetic field and funnelled overtop our northern and southern polar regions. Auroras often take on ghostly green hues, but can sometimes glow bright pink, purple, or even blue.
Days earlier, on Nov. 24, lights were visible from some parts of Calgary in the evening, despite light pollution from city lights.
Jones posted on her Instagram that she “did not come home unscathed, sustaining a few pretty large gashes to my leg,” but it was worth it.
“I still have tons of photos from this magical night to sift through,” she wrote, “so like it or not, there’s more to come!”
