NASA SOHO spacecraft shows a coronal mass ejection (CME) streaming earthward.
These are great nights for sky watching in the Upper Midwest.
The full "flower" moon rises at 9:03 pm tonight in the Twin Cities. In addition to the full moon, you may want to keep an eye on the northern sky for possible aurora borealis, or northern lights the next few nights.

Here's the dish from spaceweather.com.
High-latitude sky watchers should be alert for auroras tonight. A coronal mass ejection (CME) is heading for Earth and it could spark geomagnetic storms when it arrives on May 27th or 28th.
Our clear skies and low humidity should make for excellent viewing this weekend.
Enjoy!
