The aurora borealis could be visible again across Texas, including San Antonio, on Wednesday night if current forecasts hold, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, a G4 geomagnetic storm \u2014 the second-strongest category for these events \u2014slammed into Earth, allowing the aurora borealis, or northern lights, to be spotted as far south as San Antonio.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Wednesday night is again shaping up to be a doozy, with \u201cG4 conditions with a chance for higher levels\u201d still possible tonight, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center. <\/p>\n

Geomagnetic events happen when massive clouds of plasma and magnetic field ejections radiate from the sun and collide with Earth\u2019s magnetosphere, which creates the colorful lights in the night sky.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the best chance to catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis in Bexar County, folks should try to avoid well-lit areas and look north where the colorful phenomenon may be visible on the horizon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If we\u2019re too far south to see the lights with the naked eye, observers may be able to spot them with the long-exposure setting on a camera phone. <\/p>\n
