Residents of New Hampshire and New England have a unique opportunity to witness the aurora borealis, or northern lights, from Wednesday night into Thursday. This captivating natural event is caused by the collision of charged solar particles with the Earth's upper atmosphere, creating brilliant displays of light. The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G2 moderate geomagnetic storm watch in anticipation of a coronal mass ejection impacting Earth, increasing the visibility and intensity of the aurora.
