It's something “light” for your holiday dinner.
A dazzling display of the Northern Lights is expected to light up the Big Apple skies on Thanksgiving and Black Friday — giving new holiday lights a run for their money.
Stargazers will likely be able to see the stunning northern lights in the Empire State — and as far west as Idaho — starting at 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday, according to a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecast.
The celestial display of glowing green and red hues could also be seen in parts of the northern Midwest along with some central states in the United States, experts said.
The northern lights are generally most visible in areas with clear weather, within an hour or two of midnight, and as far away from urban light pollution as possible.
The colorful Türkiye Day fun comes thanks to a geomagnetic storm caused by part of the sun exploding into space.
During a solar storm, particles are blown into the Earth's magnetic field, creating colorful auroras as they interact with atmospheric gases.
Cities such as Annapolis, Maryland, Lincoln, Nebraska, and Cheyenne, Wyoming, are also expected to have good views of the lights on Thursday and Friday, according to the University of Alaska at Fairbanks Geophysical Institute.
“If you're in the right place, it can be a lot of fun to look at these aurora borealis,” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said.
The northern lights were also visible in some parts of New York in early October.
