The sun on December 28 emitted a big burst of gas and magnetic field called a coronal mass ejection. And scientists predicted that the stellar bump after hitting earth will result in the Aurora borealis commonly known as the Northern Lights.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) also issued warning that a strong geomagnetic storm of a level G3 will hit earth, due to a strong coronal mass ejection on the sun on Monday.

According to SpaceWeatherLive.com, “A coronal mass ejection, a giant cloud of solar plasma drenched with magnetic field lines that are blown away from the sun during strong, long-duration solar flares and filament eruptions”.

The Aurora Notify website revealed that the Northern Light will most probably be visible all over the Canada and Alaska and in some parts of the United States.

People interested in seeing this amazing show can get themselves registered online to get alerts or check for updated forecasts for when the Aurora peaks in a particular area. Individuals can register on the Aurora Service website, NOAA’s space weather website and the University of Alaska at Fairbanks.

Experts said there are a number of spots where viewers can comfortably enjoy viewing the show. Some of such places include northwest Oregon and southwest Washington, including L.L. Stub Stewart State Park, Vista House at Crown Point in the Columbia River Gorge or the Cascade Range in southern Oregon.

Such strong solar storm can cause several problems on earth like it can make the power grids go offline, failure in communications etc.
