The spectacular phenomena of the Aurora Borealis is set to dazzle those in the far northern latitudes of the United States along the Canadian border tonight, following a level 4 geomagnetic storm that hit Earth earlier Friday. Charged particles from the sun colliding with Earth's magnetic field create ribbons of brilliant light, shedding energy as they interact with atmospheric gases and producing a mesmerizing display of colors. The recent storm, triggered by a coronal mass ejection from the Sun, brought the aurora as far south as New York on Thursday night. While geomagnetic conditions have now decreased to a level 1, tonight's viewing may still be impacted by cloud cover in some areas. Nevertheless, for those in Montana and northern Idaho, clear skies offer the best chance to witness this natural wonder in all its glory.
