There's a chance for G4 (severe) geomagnetic storm tonight, NOAA space weather forecaster Shawn Dahl told CNET.

Photography experts told National Geographic that a wide-angle lens, an aperture or F-stop of four or less and a focus set to the furthest possible setting are recommended to capture the northern lights. If using a smartphone, NOAA suggests turning on night mode and disabling flash.

Colorful northern lights have decorated night skies in unexpected places, and space weather experts say there are more auroras still to come.
