Northern lights in the US were dim compared to 'last time mother nature showed off': What to know |
The northern lights made their second appearance in May, but the lights didn’t shine as bright in the northern parts of the United States.
The National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center said that the Moderate (G2) Geomagnetic Storm Watch would be from late May 31 to early June 1. Just for context, the May 10 storm was rated a G5 and viewable from all 50 states. Next week, sky gazers may get another chance at getting a better glimpse of the northern lights. But forecasters say it's too soon to know for certain.
Those wishing to see the northern lights should monitor the prediction center's website for updates and conditions.
Although the show was a little disappointing compared to the last time, some still managed to take to social media to capture what they saw.
