JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - The prospects for seeing the Northern Lights from Johnson City, Tennessee, this weekend and tonight are influenced by space weather conditions and geographical location. Despite increased solar activity and a forecast for severe geomagnetic storms on May 12 and 13, which could lead to more visible auroras even at lower latitudes, Johnson City was unlikely to experience the Northern Lights. The city, situated far south of the usual aurora visibility zones, would need a powerful solar storm, akin to the Carrington Event of 1859, to have a visible aurora​ (NOAA SWPC)​​ (NOAA SWPC)​​ (Aurora Forecast for Canada's North)​. That said, the auroras were visible in the Tri-Cities last night and may be visible again tonight, Saturday, May 11, from 10 pm - 2 am Sunday.

The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced Chewbacca, nicknamed Chewy, who they describe as a funny fella who loves everyone. “This adorable mutt is built like an oversized Shih Tzu and weighs 25 lbs. Since he was found as a stray and never claimed, we don't know much about his past.” Chewy has a personality as unique as his looks. "He is overly friendly with all, dogs included. He can come on a bit strong but in the kindest way. He wants everyone to be his friend!" states the Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts, who is currently caring for Chewy until he finds his forever home.
