The aurora borealis, also known as the 'northern lights' may be visible across much of the northern United States and Canada Tuesday night.
A strong solar flare occurred a few days ago, leading to this geomagnetic storm.
Even when Earth received these solar flares, seeing the northern lights as far south as Nebraska, or Iowa is never a certainty. But, if the solar storm is strong enough, you can see it with your camera. The best times to view this will be a few hours after sunset.
Viewing Tips: Use the long exposure setting on your camera. This setting is also found on most camera phones. Look north, and avoid light pollution.
Sky conditions: Tuesday night will be mostly clear around Omaha. There may be some mid to high level clouds to deal with Wednesday night.
Good Luck!
