Perhaps if the sky is clear, we can see northern light displays further south in the next few days. As for our northern neighbors, it should be a good show.

Not at all posting this upcoming one is of the same magnitude, but I found it interesting that In March 1989, a powerful
solar flare set off a major March 13 power blackout in Canada that left six million people without electricity for nine hours.
According to NASA, the flare disrupted electric power transmission from the Hydro Québec generating station and even
melted some power transformers in New Jersey.
