You may not have to travel far in order to witness one of nature’s most spectacular light shows. Thanks to a winter storm blowing in, The Northern Lights may be visible here in Connecticut! That’s right – you don’t need to board a plane to Norway in order to see this phenomenon. Keep your eyes on the sky on December 10 and 11. If you’re lucky, you may just experience something magical.
When electrons collide with atmosphere near the North Pole, the Northern Lights shine bright.
Though Connecticut's light show won't be as impressive as the views in the arctic, we may be lucky enough to see faint glimmers of green light shine through the atmosphere.
Light pollution could potentially dilute the views. For the best chance of seeing the Northern Lights, visit a remote location in northern Connecticut.
Cross your fingers for clear skies and dark nights! If we're lucky, we may just end 2020 with some awe-inspiring sights.
