Aurora Borealis in Ohio? It's Possible This Weekend

Cincinnati astronomer says slim chance Ohio sees northern lights this weekend

Geomagnetic storm stirs up aurora borealis Solar storm brings northern lights to America

The last time the aurora borealis was visible in Ohio was in March of 2015. This weekend, there's a chance that we could see the northern lights again.

A geomagnetic storm is expected to hit Earth on Saturday night, which could create conditions that are favorable for aurora viewing. The best time to view the aurora is within an hour or two of midnight or 10 pm.

If you're hoping to catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis, find a dark spot with a clear view of the northern sky. And be patient! The aurora can be faint and fleeting, so don't give up if you don't see it right away.
