FOUND: Auroras may continue into this week | Mind Blowing Facts

Since Friday, social media has been packed with stunning images of the night sky glowing with streaks of pink, violet and green as a massive G5 category solar storm rages on, making bursts of the northern lights visible all across the United States. However, if cloud cover has impacted some stargazers’ ability to see the auroras thus far, experts say they may have another chance or two. 

According to a report from NBC News, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration forecasters say the geomagnetic storm activity underlying the bursts of northern lights will likely return at full strength on Sunday, with storm activity extending into Monday and possibly Tuesday. To see them fully, experts recommend getting away from city lights and finding a dark, rural place to set up.
