A geomagnetic storm made the aurora borealis visible across a swath of the United States again on Wednesday, illuminating the skies as far south as Arizona.
The Northern Lights are appearing more frequently across the South. Here's why you were able to see them in Nashville.
The Aurora Borealis was spotted in a large swath of states, including Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Washington state. Northern lights were visible as far south as parts of Florida and Alabama, a relatively rare occurrence that highlights the severity of this week's storms.
Based on the forecast, Haojing Yan, a University of Missouri physics and astronomy professor, said there's a “good chance” the northern lights will be visible again Wednesday. He said the best time to see the lights will be after 10 p.m. but before sunrise.
