Aurora in our skies?

The likelihood of aurora gracing our skies remains higher than normal, although certainly not guaranteed, through Saturday night. Bright moonlight definitely interferes with enjoying the red, green, and white glowing curtains dancing above the northern horizon. The best time to look on Friday night is between 7:30 and 8:15 p.m., and on Saturday night is between 7:30 and 9:30 p.m. Be sure to face north and observe from a dark location away from city lights.

Such is our view from Earth...
