‘Strong’ Northern Lights Alert For 20 States On Monday As CME Strikes
A strong geomagnetic storm, classified as G3, is expected to impact Earth on Monday, June 8th, potentially making the northern lights visible in up to 20 U.S. states. This event is caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun that is traveling towards Earth. While G2 storms could allow aurora sightings in states like New York and Idaho, a G3 storm might extend visibility to areas such as Illinois and Oregon. AI
