Northern Lights forecast for 19 US states due to solar storm

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

The northern lights are expected to be visible in at least 19 U.S. states due to a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun. Forecasts predict a G1 or G2 geomagnetic storm, with potential for aurora sightings from the U.S.-Canadian border down to the lower Midwest. While not a major outbreak, conditions could allow for visible aurora, especially in northern states. Observers are advised to look north and avoid bright lights, with cameras often detecting the aurora before the human eye. AI
