Basically, the sun is having a tantrum and sending out a bunch of charged particles. These particles are colliding with Earth’s magnetic field, creating a dazzling display of lights.

This storm is extra special because it’s going to be stronger than usual, so we can expect to see the Northern Lights in areas that don’t normally get them.

When and Where to Watch

The best time to catch this light show is going to be on Friday and Saturday evenings. While the Northern Lights usually stick to the northern parts of Canada, this storm is going to bring them way down south. You might even be able to see them from as far south as the United States!
