Aurora chasers who braved cold nights in September and October in search of the northern lights will have new opportunities to capture the celestial phenomena in the coming days.

A geomagnetic storm is forecast to occur over much of Canada on Nov. 28 and Nov. 29, according to U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), greatly increasing the possibility of a spectacle of lights in the sky. The storm is classified as G1-G2, a “minor to moderate” disturbance of the Earth’s magnetosphere.
