Aurora Borealis Display Expected Tonight
Oregonians Could See Historic Display
Northern Lights Visible Over Mount Hood
Oregonians are in for a treat tonight, as the National Weather Service has issued an aurora watch for the state. This means that there is a high chance of seeing the northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis. The lights are caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's atmosphere. They are typically seen in high-latitude regions, but can sometimes be seen as far south as Oregon.
The best time to see the aurora is typically between 10pm and 2am. The lights are most visible in dark, clear skies, so it is important to find a spot away from city lights. If you are lucky, you may even be able to see the lights from your own backyard.
The aurora borealis is a truly amazing sight, and it is one that you will not want to miss. If you are in Oregon tonight, be sure to look up at the sky and see if you can catch a glimpse of the northern lights.
