Strong northern lights display possible across Canada tonight
Northern lights may glow across Canada tonight as a G3 geomagnetic storm nears Check clear skies and the northern horizon for a better chance to spot the aurora
A strong display of the northern lights may be visible across Canada tonight after several coronal mass ejections from the sun sent fastmoving particles toward Earth.
The U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center is forecasting a geomagnetic storm that could reach G3 levels, with a smaller chance of stronger activity. Forecasting auroras is difficult, and officials say the exact intensity is still uncertain.
If skies are clear, observers should look away from city lights and toward the northern horizon after dark. In some cases, bright geomagnetic storms can make the aurora visible farther south than usual.
