If you have clear skies and are in a more rural area away from city lights, you may be able to see an aurora in the northern skies tonight.
The aurora can't be seen during daylight hours, but space weather models are predicting it could be visible in some areas farther south after sunset. The Northern Lights could stretch within view of residents in New York, Wisconsin, and Washington state, according to a NOAA update just before 10 a.m. ET on June 2.
One lucky inhabitant, NASA astronaut Anne McClain, has just shared a breathtaking video (below) showing an aurora burst into life as the space station orbited Earth.
A severe geomagnetic storm caused the Northern Lights to appear over an area of Europe and the U.S. as a satellite detected an explosive solar flare.
