'Severe' Northern Lights Alert For 23 States On Thursday And Friday [View all]

The northern lights may be visible from northern U.S. states and Canada this Thursday, June 4, through Friday, June 5, after space weather forecasters predicted up to G4-strength geomagnetic storms.

A bright waning gibbous moon will rise after midnight and brighten the pre-dawn sky, potentially interfering with faint aurora. It's also worth stressing that space-weather forecasts often change rapidly.
