This weekend could feature some of the most brilliant displays of Aurora Borealis, after the second strongest solar flare in the past 4 years was recorded.
the last time something like this hit earth was in may of this year, were Northern lights lit up the skies, stretching far into the US, reportedly visible as far south as Florida.
The Radiation from the initial burst hit the earth October 1st at about 5:20 pm, but the charged particles that create the spectacular lights travel a slower than the speed of light.
The Solar Plasma should hit the earth's magnetic field this Friday, creating a super-charge Aurora display that will span most of the night sky.
So get out this Friday night, and look up for an incredible display.
