For those who missed the first northern lights display of 2014 in the United States early Thursday morning, another opportunity is on the way tonight.
A strong, Earth-facing coronal mass ejection, or CME, occurred Tuesday which set the stage for a bright display across the northern half of the U.S., according to Expert Meteorologist Mark Paquette.
The more directly a flare faces the Earth, the better the chances are for a strong aurora to be visible...
It looks we're right on the edge of the zone that they may be seen in. Having seen them a few times at the last "solar max", I'd really like to see them again, and maybe try to get a photo.
