There will be some big meteor showers in the winter night sky and possibly another sighting of the Northern Lights, according to officials with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The Northern Lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, are a dazzling display of red and green hues that occur when a severe geomagnetic storm erupts from the sun.

The Northern Lights were visible throughout the region and throughout New York State and beyond in October.

Shawn Dahl, a NOAA service coordinator, said the chance of seeing the northern lights over the continental United States remains high because we are now in what is known as the solar maximum of solar cycle 25.
