Virginia
LOOK: Northern lights visible in Central Virginia
(WSET) — The northern lights were visible throughout Central Virginia on Tuesday night!
According to ABC13’s Meteorologist George Flickenger, the pink glow comes from a geomagnetic storm caused by solar wind. The interaction between the energy from the solar wind and Earth’s magnetic field can result in light being produced.

George also shared that for the best view, you should go somewhere dark, away from city lights. Your camera will capture the colors better than your eyes.
