It's the height of the aurora borealis season, but the skies have been relatively calm lately, with only a few mild auroras over the last month. Get ready, though. The northern lights may light up the skies over parts of the US over the next couple of days, giving people in northern states a chance to marvel at rainbow skies.

Northern lights may be visible on Tuesday night after the sun released an X-class solar flare on Sunday night.

NOAA warns of likely G1/G2-class geomagnetic storm on Sunday, March. 29, through Monday, March 30, as a coronal mass ejection arrives amid high-speed solar wind.

The space agencies are working together to protect space infrastructure and ensure the safety of the Artemis 2 crew.

Heads up, night owls and sky gawkers: Mother Nature is putting on a show. The northern lights are expected to dance across 16 states tonight, thanks to another burst of solar fireworks. A “fairly fast coronal mass ejection” spotted over the weekend prompted the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center to issue a geomagnetic storm watch this week.
