According to Spaceweather.com, a strong geomagnetic storm is expected to reach Earth tonight, bringing with it the potential for a dazzling display of the aurora borealis. The storm is expected to reach its peak between midnight and 2 a.m. Eastern time, with prime viewing opportunities expected in the northern United States and Canada.

These particles are guided along the magnetic field lines towards the Earth's poles, where they collide with atoms and molecules in the atmosphere, creating a vibrant light show.
