Photographers and celestial spectators all over Lake County were treated to quite a show last night, as the aurora borealis made another spectacular appearance in our night sky! Conditions remain optimal tonight, Friday 10/11, to see this celestial phenomenon which rarely occurs over California skies. Note— to the naked eye, the northern lights will appear extremely faint. Pro tip: use the night setting on your cell phone, and set the shutter speed to max (around 10 seconds). Use a tripod to eliminate motion blur. A long exposure time will allow more light, which magnifies the colors of the aurora. Enjoy this heavenly show!

Hey stargazers! If you look skyward in the early morning hours starting tonight, 10/3, to Saturday, 10/5 you may well witness the rare Northern Lights phenomenon. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center has issued geomagnetic storm watches after the second-largest solar flare of the current cycle erupted on Tuesday.
The aurora borealis is expected to be visible across the northern U.S., with the best viewing opportunity coming late Friday night into the early hours of Saturday. While typically seen closer to the poles, sightings could stretch as far south as Southern California, bringing a rare opportunity for NorCal to see the vibrant display with the naked eye. Our clear Lake County night skies and low light pollution make for ideal viewing conditions of this heavenly occurrence, which was visible for the first time here this past May.
