Sponsor Our ArticlesHey there, Memphis! Hold on to your hats because something extraordinary is happening up in the sky tonight. As of 8 p.m. on Thursday, the northern lights are making their presence known right here in the Mid-South! Can you believe it? It’s not every day that we get to witness this breathtaking phenomenon, so get ready to grab your camera or smartphone and head outside.
According to the National Weather Service in Memphis, this enchanting display appears as a faint stripe of pink glowing above the tree line. If you want to capture this magical moment, they suggest switching your phone to night mode and setting it for a long exposure of about 5 to 10 seconds. This way, you’ll have a better chance of showcasing the mesmerizing colors in your photos.
So, what led to this captivating show of lights? Earlier this week, a powerful solar flare burst from the sun, sending a surge of energy into space. Following that flare, a coronal mass ejection (CME) raced toward Earth. While this cosmic event can cause challenges – like affecting satellites, communications, and GPS systems – it also opens a window for seeing the beautiful auroras.
The scientists at NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center were a bit on edge, issuing a severe geomagnetic storm watch. But for those eager stargazers in Memphis, this means we’ve hit the jackpot for a glimpse of the northern lights. Historically, these stunning displays are more commonly observed in the north, but this week has turned things on their head!
If you live in the southern parts of states like North Dakota, Oregon, Wyoming, South Dakota, and even Maine, your chances of seeing the auroras are a tad lower. But let’s face it, anything can happen in the world of weather, right?
For those who are curious and want to try their luck under the open sky, be sure to find a spot away from city lights for the best view. Just imagine standing under a night sky filled with glowing pinks and greens! Don’t forget to check the weather; a clear sky will be your best friend this evening.
As we marvel at nature’s magic, let’s also remember to be mindful. No matter where you are witnessing the northern lights tonight, it’s crucial to respect your surroundings and leave no trace behind after your adventure.
So there you have it, Memphis! The northern lights are here, lighting up the sky and giving us a wonderful opportunity to experience something rare and beautiful. Get outside, have fun, and if you capture any amazing photos, don’t forget to share them with friends and family. Let the magic of the auroras fill our hearts, even here in the southern part of our great state.
Now, grab your coats and venture out to catch the show before it fades away!
