The Northern Lights Show Further South than Normal

The Northern Lights Show Further South than Normal

I have had an item on the bucket list that was going to have me traveling to cooler areas of the Northern hemisphere at a time of year when I want warm climes.

This was so that I could gaze and be amazed by the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights.

So pleased was I that they came to me and all I had to do was go outside and gaze upward.

The phenomena known as the Northern Lights, or Southern, as it can also occur over the South pole as well, is caused by interaction with the Suns activities puling on the Earth's magnetic field.

This launches particles at high speeds that interact with the upper layer of the earth's gasses.

The simple reality is that it is a common sight in the cooler areas where the air is less dense, and no one knows why the colors can be so varied.

I don't really care for the why as I just watched the show and just by walking out the door and looking up.

I heard about these, but with a new listing, just back from Reno, was so busy, I forgot.

It’s fascinating to see the Northern Lights appearing further south than usual; this is a reminder of the wonders nature has to offer, even in unexpected places. For those of us in Big Bear Lake, the crisp mountain air makes stargazing and celestial events all the more enchanting. Whether you're here for the views or the outdoor lifestyle, it’s moments like these that truly enhance our appreciation for this beautiful region!

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 - I know cities in Texas are seeing the Northern Lights but I haven't been lucky enough yet and the local media hasn't reported any in Flower Mound yet. I keep looking out at night, but I haven't seen any yet. Frisco, not far from where I live, same county had photos shown on T.V. It was great but it would be greater if I got to see them.

I did get to see them once in Maine and it was the greatest show on earth!

Your photos are GREAT! I can only image the joy you felt when they came to YOU! Seriously, GREAT photos!!! I hope you get to see more! Thank you for sharing!!!

I saw the movement in the sky, but not the colors, until I took my phone out and took a photo. Weird!

Hi Ed:

Beautiful photos! I looked for them on several nights when they were supposed to be visible in SoCal but didn't see anything. I've certainly enjoyed all the photos.
