Northern Lights Dazzle NY Sky & You Have Another Chance to See It

The Aurora Borealis are lighting up the night sky and New York is among one of the best places to see them. Don't worry. If you missed the Northern Lights, you may still have another chance.

Talk about a colorful way to end the work week. Northern Lights could be seen from Washington DC to New York and across parts of the midwest Thursday night (March 23, 2023) into Friday morning.

More Lights

Mother Nature isn't done just yet. There's another chance to see the Northern Lights tonight (March 24, 2023) into early Saturday morning across Upstate New York. This time of year is actually perfect for Aurora Borealis viewing, according to NOAA.

"The best seasons for aurora watching are around the spring and fall equinoxes."

Best Viewing Time

The best time to view the lights is normally within an hour or two of midnight. So, sometime between 10 PM and 2 AM. And you'll need to find a dark place, away from the city lights, to see the prism of floating color.

The aurora’s colorful green, red, and purple light shifts gently and often changes shape like softly blowing curtains.

A number of photographers have captured the beauty of Mother Nature, lighting up the Adirondacks, over the past few years. Take a look at their stunning work.
