The night sky gave New England a rare show late Thursday and early Friday, when an unusually strong solar storm made the northern lights visible.
There's a chance that the aurora will be visible in New England again Friday night into Saturday — the national Space Weather Prediction Center says the solar storm that brought the activity in the sky is expected to continue into Saturday.
The best chance to see the show will be between 11 p.m. and 3 a.m., but the flare isn’t expected to be as strong, thus viewing won’t be as great. There will be clear skies, with patches of clouds.
