BOULDER, COLORADO — Some parts of the U.S. may get a rare glimpse of the northern lights, as a solar storm fires up the planet's auroras this week.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a minor geomagnetic storm will hit Earth from March 14 to 15.

Solar winds from the Sun's coronal hole are set to stream out into space and cause a slight disturbance to our planet's geomagnetic field. Charged solar particles interacting with the earth's atmosphere results in an amplified display of the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights.

The storm allows the lights to be visible in lower latitude areas, like Michigan and Maine in the northeastern U.S. It's also expected to have a minor impact on power grids and satellite operations.

Space reports that over the weekend, several news outlets inaccurately warned of a massive solar disturbance that can cause power outages, prompting some to panic.

In response, the NOAA's Space Prediction Center claims the storm, known as 'G1' is the lowest severity on a scale of five, and shouldn't be cause for concern.
