Did you miss the FOMO-inducing aurora borealis over the weekend? No need to wish upon a star.

Astro enthusiasts have one final shot to see this cosmic fireworks display from certain regions across the US and Canada.

“This is a prediction of the intensity and location of the aurora borealis tonight and tomorrow night over North America,” the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) wrote on their Space Prediction Weather site.
