North Carolina has recently had the rare opportunity to enjoy the Northern Lights in our skies. Tony Rice joins us to explain why these opportunities to see the Aurora Borealis have presented themselves recently, what is required for the aurora to be visible this far south, and tips for seeing it. We’ll also explore the larger topic of space weather and its impact on satellites, astronaut health, and more.
