People in the United States may have the rare opportunity to see the aurora on the night of November 9th, as indicated by the Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) issuing a G1 (minor) geomagnetic storm warning.
The warning was issued because of a coronal hole high-speed stream. The important part for stargazers is that the event increases the area in which the northern lights might be seen. That region will include parts of the northern United States.
The aurora could reach parts of Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, and the very northern tip of Maine. Additionally, you should have a nice view through the vast majority of Canada and Alaska.
I would love to travel to Canada to see this event. Maybe another time.

I’m not lucky to see this miracle…
Neither am I my friend.
I always wanted to see one. I wish I will.
Same here, maybe one day.
Those who saw it are lucky. It’s a dream of mine to see it one day. 🙂
Mine too, I have always dreamed of seeing them.
We do not have the luck to see this kind of thing
It does not happen often here either
These are spectacular nature’s gift to us. I have a keen desire to view them.
Yes it is something to see I guess I have not seen it yet.
Although I do live in Canada, I have not witnessed them. I wish I had. It seems to be a beautiful sight. But thank you for letting us know.
You are welcome and this was like a one time event.
Yes I have seen the lights and you are the first comment I was able to make in the last 8 hours.
You are having problems too I see
I am sure that I will never see that with my eyes.
Same here Albert but you never know.
Yeah! Totally agree… We never know…
