During Valentine’s Day weekend, northern parts of America, including Maine, may have a chance of seeing an aurora. But space weather scientists warn that the chances of this happening are slim.
Some Americans may get a special treat during the Valentine’s Day weekend if the northern lights illuminate the night sky with a hint of romance. While it’s possible this could happen, space weather scientists warn the chances are slim.
The northern lights, also known as aurora borealis, may be visible across parts of North America starting Friday night, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center (NOAA).
“The aurora may become visible along the horizon of northern tier and far north upper Midwest states”, the agency said on Friday. Michigan and Maine may also see an aurora, NOAA said in an advisory.
But don’t get your hopes up too high, because it could lead to heartbreak.
