This summer has been full of celestial events, from the Perseid Meteor shower to the partial eclipse in August, and as summer comes to a close, we'll get a chance at one more.

The Northern Lights are set to appear tonight in The Friendly City, after the  U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a strong geomagnetic storm watch for late Sept. 6th and 7th.

This phenomena is caused by the releasing of fast-moving particle streams called a coronal mass ejection. On Monday, a strong release of these particles was detected, and is anticipated to be seen Wednesday evening, September 6th.

Due to the strength of the recent release, Moose Jaw, as well as parts of Canada and the U.S. will get a good visual of the spectacle that most often appears in the Arctic, and luckily, there are clear skies in the forecast. 

For the best chance to see the Aurora Borealis, it's best to head out to a dark location, away from the glow of the city, and look north. If you want a photo of the event, you can try photographing them with a DSLR camera on a tripod by taking a 15- to 20-second exposure with the focus set on infinity or a distant object.
