Late summer light show…maybe

If we’re lucky, we’ll see the Aurora Borealis tonight. Skies will be clear which means if you’re looking to catch a glimpse, you won’t be cursing clouds.

A couple of solar flares are hitting the Earth today. Solar particles could make the Northern Lights visible as far south the 49^th parallel, where they’re not usually seen.

Scientists haven’t pinpointed exactly where the night sky will be illuminated, but if you can get away from the lights of the city, you’ll have a better chance of seeing the Aurora Borealis tonight.

And if you do catch a glimpse, and happen to snap a photo, I’d like to see it! Send your pictures of the northern lights to [e-mail] . Good luck!
