A high-speed solar wind stream has been buffeting the Earth's magnetic field for a couple of days. Last night it turned the skies over Canada green. Below are photos sent in by Bob Johnson, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.
There's chance of more Auroras tonight over North America and possibly north Europe as the solar wind continues to be more powerful than normal. Though the best place to see them will be in the southern hemisphere.
If you have no luck, there should be another solar wind stream hitting Earth on July 30th as another coronal hole has opened up on the Sun today, so there may be auroras.
