TOPEKA, Kan. (KSNT) – A one-two punch double eruption on the sun is offering a slight chance to view the aurora borealis in the Kansas sky later this week. However, the weather may get in the way of seeing the aurora. On April 12 and April 13, two coronal mass ejection events on the sun shot solar material towards Earth. As a result, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) issued a G2 (moderate) geomagnetic storm watch.

KANSAS (KSNT) – Stargazers in Kansas can view the ‘pink moon’, one of the smallest full moons of the year, this weekend. 27 News spoke to NASA Solar System Ambassador Brenda Culbertson about the upcoming event. She said the pink moon doesn’t actually appear pink unless there are pollutants in the air and that there are several cultural names for various full moons, which is where it gets its name. “Pink for the color of spring flowers,” Culbertson said.
