So what allowed us to see the lights this time after lacking so many different occasions earlier than? The very first thing is that our personal climate cooperated. After a day of coping with off-and-on rain, the skies cleared out simply forward of sundown. This half, consider it or not, was the “straightforward” half. If Pittsburgh climate that calling skies clearing the “straightforward” half goes a great distance in displaying how sophisticated the whole lot else was that got here collectively for us to see so many beautiful Northern Lights Footage.

So the second a part of the equation is not as straightforward to speak about, and admittedly that is getting out of my wheelhouse of data. So I’m going to try to do my finest right here.
Sunspot exercise has been “excessive” over the previous couple of weeks. When you have your eclipse glasses left over from final month and use them now, you might even have the ability to see a few of the “spots” with no further gear wanted. Sunspots ship photo voltaic radiation that is electromagnetically charged out from the solar. It goes in every single place. When it hits our ambiance the violent collision of electromagnetically charged particles sparks a wild gentle present at each of the earth’s poles.
We stay within the Northern Hemisphere so we get the Northern Lights also referred to as the Aurora Borealis. Within the Southern Hemisphere, they get the Aurora Australis. Why are the lights solely seen on the poles?
It is as a result of the earth itself is electrically charged and the height of that cost happens at our poles. The interplay of all this electrical energy is what you see. {The electrical} waves our stretched, pulled, and torn in all types of wierd methods. We get the wonderful gentle present at occasions from this, and each every so often all of it comes collectively in simply such a method that even right here in Pittsburgh we get to see considered one of nature’s biggest gentle exhibits.
