Northern lights danced across the sky for a second night in a row.
On Wednesday, Nov. 12, the lights lit up the sky across the globe in the United States, Canada and even in Australia.
This follows the spectacular nighttime phenomena that occurred on Nov. 11, when people in the U.S. as far south as Texas and Florida could see the northern lights, USA TODAY previously reported.
The northern lights were caused by a geomagnetic storm, which occurs when a coronal mass ejection from the sun's surface arrives in Earth's atmosphere. The ejection that caused the brilliant activity erupted from the sun earlier in the week, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center in Boulder, Colorado.
Could the northern lights be visible again on Thursday, Nov. 13?
It is possible, but the chances of the northern lights putting on another show in the continental United States are low, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
There is also a possibility that the northern lights could be visible in parts of Greenland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia, though the chances are also low, according to NOAA.
