Today, we have some big news for Australians! In the past few days, the official borders of the city of Melbourne have just been expanded to include the town of Melton, which allows the South Australian city to overtake Sydney as Australia's most populous city. It now leads by about 19,000 people, but both cities' populations continue to grow, so Sydney could retake the crown in the next few years.
On another note, we have some more big news for anyone living in the northern half of North America. A massive solar storm is headed that way, and the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) could light up the skies from Alaska and Greenland all the way down to Illinois and Indiana. The lights will also light up anywhere from Washington to Maine, and go as far south as Kansas if the storm is powerful enough. So if you live in that range, look for some beautiful green lights in the sky tonight!
