HOUSTON, Sept. 13 (UPI) -- Northern Lights may be visible farther south than normal this weekend after back-to-back powerful solar flares erupted from the sun's surface this week.
The sun kicked out two powerful solar flares this week, bursts of radiation known as coronal mass ejections.
Solar flares aren't harmful to humans, but the barrage could disrupt satellite communications, knock out power and put on a powerful light show in the form of the Auroa Borealis, or Northern Lights.
The best night to view the more powerful-than-normal light show was Friday, but the lights should still be visible Saturday.
A prediction map shows the Northern Lights could be visible as far south as the very northern parts of Kansas, and Indiana, Illinois and a good chunk of New England.
