Northern lights reached the Mid-Ohio Valley Friday night

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (WTAP) – Now, once again, northern lights were last night, but we could still see them tonight. And it looks to be a great night. L.V., did you get a chance to see the northern lights last night? I believe I saw little bits/slivers because I ashamedly kind of forgot until it was about 15 minutes past midnight. I was like ohh. I need to try to at least catch the tail end. And so I saw little bits and pieces of what I think were green in the sky. So I I’ve got a little bit of it. Yeah, absolutely. I also got to see them. I wasn’t around here.

I was actually visiting my in laws, but I still got a chance to see it a little bit and it was fantastic there. It was actually a little bit harder to see with the naked eye as we see in some pictures, we got. You can see the different colors there, the greens, the pinks and purples. We actually got some pictures,  a few of them were from Rick J. from Parkersburg. These are the ones we’re currently seeing on screen. And then we also got some pictures from Tracey Stall, who also once again sent us some pictures of these amazing lights. Once again, you may not have actually been able to see them the greatest last night due to how our eyes work and everything like that, plus with the lights and everything. It’s actually been over 20 years since the last time we’ve had enough geomagnetic energy to see the northern lights this far. So hopefully you got a chance to fully enjoy that last night. LV. Yeah, at least if only a little bit. I it. It just made me think of that opening scene from Frozen. The sky is away. Ohh yes, absolutely amazing. And once again you might be able to see them on the horizon once again tonight so hopefully get a chance to do that. Yeah, so very slight chance, but still kind of there.
