You have got to take a look at these pictures. Which one do you think is the best? Tell us at the bottom of this web story by writing a comment. Maybe you have pictures of the Aurora Borealis. We would love to see them. Send them to us by e-mailing them to news@cnycentral.com or weather@cnycentral.com.
According to this website, we all will have an opportunity to take celestial shots tonight and Saturday night of the Northern Lights and possibly 3 planets as well.
To find Venus, Saturn, and Mars, wait for sundown, step outside and look west. These three planets have converged to form a skinny triangle in the sunset sky. Saturn and Mars are very close together. Here is a picture of how it looked in Argentina on Wednesday. For a map of how this will look in the sky, click here.
The Aurora Borealis may be a bit more difficult to see here in New York state because the best chance to see them will be at the higher latitude provinces of Canada. However, residents of Alberta, Canada saw the Northern Lights and snapped beautiful pictures which you can find here and here.
If you see these planets or the Aurora Borealis, e-mail us at news@cnycentral.com or weather@cnycentral.com.
