DETROIT – Although it's a small chance, it's a chance nonetheless.
There's another chance to catch some Northern Lights in Michigan on Thursday night thanks to an eruption on the sun.

Paul Gross has some details:
A strong coronal mass ejection (big eruption on the sun) has accelerated the stream of charged particles that flow from the sun to the earth, and interacts with our planet’s magnetic field.
Experimental forecasts from NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center suggest that the aurora borealis (northern lights) may be visible at some point Thursday night over northern Michigan, with a chance that even those of us in the south may get a peek at them.
Remember that aurora are very fickle…we may see them, or we may not. But if your skies clear tonight, take a look to the north…if you see a greenish glow in the sky (sometimes even red), then that’s them!
