The Northern Lights May Be Visible Over Pennsylvania This Week Due To A Solar Storm
The year 2020 has proven to be a challenge in more ways than one, but one thing for sure is that celestial happenings have been stellar for most of the year. And this week we’re in for a show in Pennsylvania after a solar storm that began yesterday has pushed the cosmic Northern Lights farther down into the atmosphere than is normal. Seeing these lights from Pennsylvania could be considered a rare occurrence. And this may be the rare moment!

One of them, a comet that hasn't been seen since the ancient Egyptians would have gazed upon it, whizzed right over the Keystone State. Those who had a front row seat will remember that sighting for years to come.

The star should appear in the southwest sky just after sunset on the evening of December 21, 2020.
