First, it is dangerously cold outside. Extreme cold temperatures can quickly lead to frostbite and hypothermia, even with short periods of exposure. See our earlier post for tips on how to protect yourself, your loved ones (pets included), and your home.
Second, Earth is currently being impacted by the strongest geomagnetic storm in nearly 20 years. This storm is driven by a powerful coronal mass ejection (a massive burst of charged particles from the Sun) that is interacting with Earth’s magnetic field.
When these particles collide with gases in our upper atmosphere, they release energy in the form of light, creating what we know as the aurora borealis. Because this coronal mass ejection is unusually intense (a G4 event), the aurora may be visible much farther south than normal, potentially reaching as far as Alabama!
In other words, tonight presents a rare scientific spectacle, but safety comes first! If you head outside to look for the aurora, do so briefly, dress in layers, cover exposed skin, and limit your time outdoors. Extreme cold can overwhelm the body’s ability to regulate temperature faster than many people realize. Enjoy the science, but protect your health. 🌌🌌🌌
