Heads up! Chance to see northern lights on Wednesday night
TL;DR: There's a coronal mass ejection on the way, expected to hit "late on Sept. 6 and into Sept. 7". The ejection is strong enough that aurora might be visible in southern Canada and northern USA. "For the best chance to see the lights, head out to a dark location and look north. You can try photographing them with a DSLR on a tripod by taking a 15- to 20-second exposure with the focus set on infinity or a distant object."
NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has a 30-minute aurora forecast.--

"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
