aurora from space

Aurora seen from space.

Aurora alert! If you live at a high latitude – Alaska, northern Canada, Scandinavia, and so on – tonight is a good night to look for the beautiful aurora, or northern lights.

Here’s more from the great website spaceweather.com:

“High latitude sky watchers, if it is dark where you live, go outside and look for auroras. A strong geomagnetic storm is in progress, caused by a solar wind stream which has just hit Earth.”

And here’s more from the National Weather Service’s Space Environment Center.
