SALT LAGE CITY – The appearance of the famous Northern Lights will be seen this week in places incredibly close to Utah. Maybe … maybe … beehive state, don’t bet on a house or even a penny. The geomagnetic storm caused by a large coronal mass emission from the sun allows northern lights to appear in its areas even close to places like Idaho and Wyoming. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released Geomagnetic Storm Monitoring from Wednesday to Friday. Southern states such as New York, Illinois and Pennsylvania are expected to be a treat. But the phenomenon known scientifically as Aurora borealis is very small to be found in Utah, although there is always a chance. In the diagram below, the full green color indicates that the northern lights are seen from the south. Utah is out of bounds, but it is very close. If you want to see the spectacular light scene in the northern part of the state, look north above the horizon. The more you come from light pollution, the better. Aurora borealis can only be destroyed by large clouds throughout the night.
