What a present!
This time of yr, now we have extra of an opportunity to see the aurora borealis due to the orientation of the Earth’s and the solar’s magnetic fields. That’s in response to Aileen O’Donoghue, astronomer with St. Lawrence University and the Adirondack Sky Center & Observatory in Tupper Lake.
“They’re really hard to predict, so keep an eye out!”
O’Donoghue advised Northern Light co-hosts Monica Sandreczki and Catherine Wheeler about her go-to tool for updates on the aurora and what else to search for within the morning and night skies this month. Listen to their dialog beneath!

We can see a sliver of the lit half of the Moon, whereas many of the close to facet of the Moon is dealing with away from the Sun and is in darkness. For these within the Northern Hemisphere, it could seem like it is a waning crescent, however observe, this picture is taken above the Southern Hemisphere.
Above the floor of the Earth, an excellent sequence of colours roughly denotes a number of layers of the environment. Deep oranges and yellows seem within the troposphere, which incorporates over 80 p.c of the mass of the environment and nearly all the water vapor, clouds, and precipitation. The pink to white area above the clouds seems to be the decrease stratosphere; this atmospheric layer typically has few or no clouds. Above the stratosphere, blue layers possible mark the transition between the center and higher environment because it regularly fades into the blackness of outer area. Photo & caption: NASA.
