⁉️ Have you heard the news—Bend, Oregon might just be the perfect spot to catch a glimpse of the northern lights this weekend. An unusually strong solar storm is heading our way, creating a rare opportunity for us to see the aurora borealis dance across the night sky. 🌌✨ 👉 According to NOAA, this solar storm could produce an aurora borealis as far south as Northern California, meaning Bend is in prime viewing territory. So, if you want to witness this magical spectacle, grab a warm blanket, head away from any light pollution, and look towards the north in the night sky. The next couple of nights might just turn out to be an unforgettable experience under the stars.
