There's a chance for G4 (severe) geomagnetic storm tonight, NOAA space weather forecaster Shawn Dahl tells CNET.

Colorful northern lights have decorated night skies in unexpected places, and space weather experts say there are more auroras still to come.

Those in states bordering Canada will have the best chance.

How can I see the northern lights?

Historical data shows that auroras occur more often during the spring and autumn equinox.

NASA, on behalf of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), has awarded a delivery order to BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems Inc. of

The sun just unleashed one of its largest solar explosions in recent years, temporarily causing a radio blackout on Earth and spitting out a coronal mass ejection that will likely collide with our planet this weekend.

The last gasp of a "cannibal" coronal mass ejection that slammed Earth on Tuesday will bring lovely auroras to parts of the northern US and most of Canada tonight, with more northern lights displays on the way this weekend.

Chicagoans are most likely to have a chance to see the lights between 11 p.m. Monday and 2 a.m. Tuesday, though odds are better before midnight when the moon still hasn't risen.

The northern lights may be visible Tuesday and Wednesday over several northern states, from New York to Idaho.

Mike Bettwy, a government meteorologist who focuses on potential threats from space weather, says that we are more prepared than ever — and that forecasting is only getting better.

The northern lights put on a dazzling show around the world last month. Green, pink and purple hues danced across Switzerland, Germany and Tennessee skies — ...

Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Jonathan McDowell told DailyMail.com that 'We could easily get much bigger storms over the next year or two,' as solar storm intensity increases

An unusually strong solar storm hitting Earth produced stunning displays of color in the skies across the Northern Hemisphere.

The sun produced its biggest flare in nearly two decades Tuesday, just days after severe solar storms pummeled Earth and created dazzling northern lights in unaccustomed places.

The same massive sunspot cluster that gave Earth multiple nights of stunning aurora displays has now produced the largest flare of the current solar cycle

The best weather conditions for viewing the colorful light display will be in much of the West while New England was "a question mark," a forecaster said.
