Today's interesting fact has to do with the Northern Lights.

The Northern lights or Aurora Borealis is a natural light display that often appears in the Artic and Antarctic

The lights are caused when high speed particles, usually from the sun, hit the magnetic field of the earth.

I mention it today, as there has been a coronal mass ejection (CME) that has hit the Earth, and the effects will be noticed for the next couple days.

This also means that the Northern Lights are likely to be seen as far south as was seen in 2005, the last CME that was similar in size to this present one.

Then, the Aurora Borealis was seen as far south as the Caribbean.
