A severe geomagnetic storm triggered an active aurora borealis Tuesday night. The northern lights were visible across most of North America, including the Maritimes. Viewing conditions depended on catching breaks in the clouds that were present over the region. The aurora is expected to be active again Wednesday night, though the Maritimes will be battling some cloudier conditions. The best viewing spots are likely to be in eastern New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
