Auroras display dynamic patterns of brilliant lights that appear as curtains ...
CMEs travel several million miles per hour, so the NOAA predicts that the best time to see the lights would be between 10 p.m. ET on Dec. 30 and 10 a.m. ET on Dec. 31, according to Space.com ...
The “Aurora Borealis” also known as The Northern lights are expected to shine over the U.S. as geomagnetic activity driven by solar coronal holes will lead to an explosion of color in the sky (PA)
