The gorgeous green, purple and red colors of the aurora borealis might be visible from the northern parts of the upper Midwest tonight thanks to a solar ejection slamming into the Earth.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center (SPWC) has put out a G1 geomagnetic storm watch for June 4 in anticipation of a coronal mass ejection (CME) flung out from the sun hitting our planet’s magnetic field.
G1 geomagnetic storms can lead to the northern lights being seen as far south as the north of Michigan and Maine.
