-The chance to see northern lights in Normandy was “Moderate” And the peak was located around 11 p.m. Wednesday April 16. These aurora borealis are linked to the arrival in the terrestrial magnetic field of the particles issued by a recent solar rash.
It is true that this wonderful show of the sky was not very visible to the naked eye, unlike the northern lights seen in Normandy, on the night of Thursday, October 11, 2024.
