Stream: Watch the Northern Lights in Michigan Wednesday night
FOX 2 is streaming three different angles all night long of the Northern Lights as we watch it from across Lake Michigan. Watch Wednesday night starting at 8 p.m. in the player below.
The Northern Lights can produce an incredible view! Those colors come from a process that starts well before they appear overhead. It all begins with Earth’s magnetic field, an invisible shield that protects us from most of the radiation and charged particles coming from the Sun.
The strongest solar storm in over 20 years continues, and a major boost on Wednesday afternoon could elevate this aurora experience to once-in-a-lifetime.
