Press Release: Rare Geomagnetic Storm Offers Chance to View Northern Lights in Maryland
Baltimore, MD – An unusually strong geomagnetic storm is set to impact Earth in the coming days, providing a rare opportunity for Marylanders to witness the Aurora Borealis, commonly known as the northern lights. The storm’s effects will peak on Sunday night into Monday morning, with predictions suggesting the lights may be visible farther south than usual.
While the extent of the event remains uncertain, the possibility of seeing the northern lights in Maryland is heightened. Locations further north are likely to have better views, making rural settings preferable for optimal visibility. Urban light pollution in Baltimore City and the D.C. metro area could hinder the viewing experience, so heading to darker areas, such as the mountains of far western Maryland or the eastern shore, is advised.
Peak visibility is expected between mid-evening on Sunday and early Monday morning, before 4 a.m. Residents are encouraged to seize this unique celestial opportunity and venture to more remote locations to increase their chances of experiencing this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon.
