People across Canada may be able to see the aurora borealis, or northern lights, on Friday due to a passing solar storm. But this is bad news for Earth's magnetic field.

The potential light show is due to a coronal mass ejection that occurred on Tuesday, Jul. 4, according to Natural Resources Canada. However, Nikolic mentioned people will only be able to see them in the "auroral zone," which is in the northern parts of the country. Nikolic says the powerful sun explosion combined with "high speed solar wind streams from a coronal hole could cause disturbed geomagnetic conditions."
