Tonight presents a rare opportunity to witness the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, in parts of India due to a strong solar storm. Typically visible only near the Arctic, the auroras may be seen as far south as Hanle in Ladakh, which is known for its high altitude and minimal light pollution. Other locations that could potentially offer views include Nubra Valley, Pangong Tso, parts of Kashmir, and higher elevations in Uttarakhand. Skywatchers are advised to look north after midnight and to choose dark, clear skies for the best chance of seeing the lights. A camera with long exposure settings may enhance visibility, but patience is essential as the auroras can be faint and unpredictable. This event is particularly exciting as sightings of the Northern Lights in India are extremely rare, making tonight a unique occasion for those in the right locations.
