A rare solar flare directed at Earth means 30 states could see the aurora borealis, or northern lights, as some lucky Americans see them in Minnesota.

The Space Weather Prediction Center issued a G2 (moderate) geomagnetic storm watch into Sunday night, with a chance of a G3 (strong) developing later in the night.
The center has a five-level geomagnetic storm scale, with G1 storms registering as minor and G5s considered extreme. A G2 storm typically happens 360 days every 11 years, the center says.

If they ever make their way to Kentucky, you better be worried about a polar shift

Looking at GOD’S handywork what The Creator He is be Blessed 😇🙏
I’m not so sure it’s a blessing. Sure it’s beautiful but the strong sun flares it takes to cause this is a little scary to me.
I’ve got to see this one day.
I was born and raised in northern Maine and I have seen them several times over the years. They are absolutely breathtaking at times
Just perfect made by God ❤
Actually made by sun flares that cause a disturbance in our electromagnetic field
@Sandy Allen Yup all that too is made by God. Such a wonderful blessing ❤️
Very gorgeous is our planet. Love those lights…
I saw them in Wisconsin, but i guess Minnesota has the ones with sound.

Nam blah swirls 🍥
Gorgeous!
Well! Isn’t that special?
Miracle/Magic
God’s “Light Show”
the great year
Normally you see something like this only in the far north. It’s a magnetic storm coming from the sun. This threatens the energy supply and satellite communication.
I live in northern Maine and I have seen them several times over the years
Gorgeous!!!
USA where was this taken?
@Homer Simpson I’m asking the network not the country and I’m on YouTube and this video didn’t tell me where. I’ve seen them several times from northern Maine so I was curious
