Scientists Confirm Aurora Borealis Will Be Visible On Google Images Tonight

BOULDER, CO—Stressing that it represented an ideal opportunity to see one of nature’s greatest wonders, scientists at the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center confirmed Thursday that the aurora borealis would be visible on Google Images tonight. “For this entire evening, the northern lights will be observable to the naked eye simply by walking to your computer, opening up a browser, and searching the phrase ‘aurora borealis’ in Google,” said National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration spokesperson Dr. Colin Byrne, adding that the magnificent pinks, crimsons, and deep greens of the geomagnetic storm could be easily seen by looking at an iPad, a laptop, or any other device upon which Google Search is available. “While some photos may show cloud cover or appear dull and gray, the addition of search terms to read ‘northern lights amazing’ or ‘aurora borealis Iceland 4K’ will reveal the astonishing display in its full glory. If you’re still having trouble seeing things, try using your phone to take a photo of the web results. Then you can just zoom in to get a better view of this natural phenomenon.” Byrne added that this was also the perfect time of year to search for a YouTube video of the Perseids.
