Assuming you’re in the far northern U.S. On the off ‘Dazzling displays’ chance that you live in the U.S., watch out for the Wednesday night sky: The aurora borealis, or Aurora Borealis, may show up. (Dazzling displays)
As indicated by AccuWeather, late emissions on the Sun’s surface have sent billows of charged particles, known as coronal mass discharges, to slam into the Solar System.
“These billows of particulate matter are anticipated to slam into Earth’s attractive field from Wednesday night through Thursday, showing a splendid presentation of aurorae,” said Brian Lada of AccuWeather.

Auroras normally show up as wavy draperies of green, red or purple light.
Such geomagnetic tempests can likewise influence close Earth circle and framework on a superficial level, possibly upsetting correspondences, power lattices, route and radio and satellite tasks, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.
AURORA HISTORY: Roughly a long time back, a bizarrely strong sun powered storm cleared past the Earth.
However, such interruption from this occasion is impossible, Lada said.

Geomagnetic storm watch issued
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center has delivered the G3 (Strong) Geomagnetic Storm Watch on Thursday. It is the third level of NOAA’s five-scale geomagnetic storm scale. (G1 storms are minor; G5 is viewed as outrageous.)
Hurricanes can push the aurora southward from its normal position in the polar region. Auroras could appear for this storm if weather conditions are favorable, from Pennsylvania to Iowa to Oregon in the south, NOAA reported.
Earthsky.org said people in cities like Minneapolis and Milwaukee can see the aurora directly overhead, while cities like Lincoln, Nebraska, Indianapolis and Annapolis, Maryland can see it on the northern skyline.

The southern lights are visible below
The southern lights, known as the aurora australis, can also be visible in the far southern parts of the world, such as Australia.
AccuWeather said another round of northern lights is possible Thursday night, although the brightness of the aurora probably won’t be as visible in the south as it is on Wednesday night.
