The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientist says the flare is too weak and any light show would be limited to Alaska, Canada, Iceland, Norway and other far northern spots.
On Friday, the company's rocket powered commercial SpaceShipTwo, VSS Unity reached space for the second time, higher and faster than ever before, as its world record-holding hybrid rocket motor propelled the spaceship at Mach 3.04 to an apogee of 295,007 ft.
To peer deep into the Earth, scientists from the Princeton University in the US and the Institute of Geodesy and Geophysics in China, used the most powerful waves on the planet, which are generated by massive earthquakes.
The decade from 2014 to 2023 could end up being the warmest in over 150 years of records, say scientists who predict that the global average surface temperature for the next five years will be one degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
The findings showed that climate change has been significantly affecting phytoplankton -- the tiny sea creatures -- in the world's oceans, which will lead to the change in colour -- intensifying its blue and green regions.
Roughly 252 million years ago, nickel byproduct from a volcanic eruption in Siberia drifted to Australia, kicking off the Earth-spanning cataclysm known as the "Great Dying".
Some places, including the Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles will be live streaming the phenomenon.
The team studied the surface of the Moon using thermal data and images collected by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), and compiled the ages of all lunar craters younger than about a billion years.

This burying, or rather mummifying, took place at the Lovely Professional University (LPU) here, which is hosting the 106th Indian Science Congress and for which the three Nobelist - - third one being American-German biochemist Thomas Sudhof-- were invited to give lectures to students and other scientists.
First discovered by astronomer Carl Wirtanen in 1948, 46P/Wirtanen, with a width of 1.1 kilometres, orbits the Sun fairly quickly for a comet — once every 5.4 years — making it a short-period comet.
The VISIONS-2 mission, short for Visualizing Ion Outflow via Neutral Atom Sensing-2, is scheduled to launch no earlier than December 4.
The findings showed that loss of sea water is due to the slow-motion collisions of tectonic plates under Mariana Trench -- deepest ocean trench in the world.
According to the report, the team of astronomers managed to capture snapshots of the mysterious clouds lurking just 250,000 miles away, roughly the same distance as the moon.
Researchers noted that since comets contain a lot of ices, it could have supplied some water. Asteroids, which are not as water-rich yet still plentiful, could be a source as well.
"It is an honour for Indians. Indians are committed to save the environment," PM said after receiving the award.
PM Modi has been selected in the leadership category for his pioneering work in championing the International Solar Alliance and for his unprecedented pledge to eliminate all single-use plastic in India by 2022.
The discovery was made using the Dharma Endowment Foundation Telescope (DEFT), a 50-inch telescope located atop Mt Lemmon in southern Arizona, US.
The satellite will provide critical observations of how ice sheets, glaciers and sea ice are changing, leading to insights into how those changes impact people where they live.
The exoplanet 'Wolf 503b' is in the Virgo constellation and it orbits its star every six days and is thus very close to it, about 10 times closer than Mercury is to the Sun.
