The Northern Lights made an appearance in the hi-desert last night (May 10), and if you used a camera, you could snap a photograph of the dark desert sky shimmering with shades of fuschia and violet.
The effects of what meteorologists are calling the largest geomagnetic solar storm in twenty years are creating the phenomenon known as Aurora Borealis in areas where they are not usually present, including here in California.
Throughout the hi-desert and most of southern California, the storm isn’t quite visible to the naked eye, but cameras are able to pick up on the electromagnetic energy that is filling the sky.
The storm continues throughout today until 2 a.m., so as the sun sets, keep your eyes open and your cameras pointed to the sky.
