WeatherMinds: Northern Lights may be visible this weekend

Sven explains the phenomenon causing auroras over the next few days.

GOLDEN VALLEY, Minn. — Keep your eyes to the sky!

You're going to be able to see the northern lights in the coming days.   

A solar stream hit earth's magnetic field Thursday, originating from the same hole in the sun's atmosphere that caused some auroras visible in MN earlier this month.

The 'hole' is about 300,000 miles wide- a latent example of just how much bigger the sun is than earth!!
