A bright green aurora shines over North Dakota during Tuesday night’s Northern Lights spectacle.
Northern Lights are likely to be visible across states across North America this Friday and Saturday night, as a moderate geomagnetic storm watch is in effect.
The Space Weather Prediction Center issued a G2 Moderate Geomagnetic Storm Watch due to high-speed streams of solar wind emerging from coronal holes in the solar corona.
