India is on the brink of a rare celestial event as astronomers anticipate the possibility of witnessing the Aurora Borealis, commonly known as the northern lights. This rare opportunity arises from a powerful geomagnetic storm triggered by a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Sun. The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm watch, with conditions possibly reaching G4 (severe) levels. The peak of the storm is expected between 11:30 PM on Monday and 2:30 AM on Tuesday. Ideal viewing locations in India include high-altitude areas such as Hanle Dark Sky Reserve, Pangong Tso, and Nubra Valley in Ladakh. Unlike the vibrant displays typically seen in northern Europe, the auroras visible from India may manifest as faint crimson or deep-red glows due to interactions between solar particles and oxygen atoms in the atmosphere. While geomagnetic storms can disrupt satellite and GPS services, they do not pose a direct threat to human safety. The last notable auroral event in India occurred in 2024 during a G5 geomagnetic storm, marking a significant occurrence in over two decades.
