Polar Lights Expected in Germany

Latest Forecast and Predictions

Breaking News

Polar lights are expected to be visible in Germany soon, according to the latest forecast from the German Meteorological Service (DWD). The DWD has issued a polar light warning for the northern and eastern parts of the country, with the best chances of seeing the lights on the night of March 17th. The warning is in effect until March 18th.

The lights are caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's magnetic field. When the particles collide with atoms in the Earth's atmosphere, they release energy in the form of light. The color of the light depends on the type of atom that is hit.

Polar lights are typically green, but they can also be red, blue, or purple. The lights can appear in a variety of shapes, including arcs, bands, and curtains. They can be visible for several hours at a time.

To see the polar lights, you need to be in a dark location with a clear view of the northern horizon. The lights are best seen after midnight, when the sky is darkest. You may also want to use a pair of binoculars or a telescope to get a better view.
