Northern Lights forecast for US and Canada due to solar storms

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The northern lights are expected to be visible in parts of the northern United States and Canada on Thursday night and Friday, July 23-24. This phenomenon is due to two minor coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the sun that are heading towards Earth. If these CMEs combine and interact with Earth's magnetosphere, they could trigger a G1-class geomagnetic storm, potentially bringing the aurora to lower latitudes than usual. While widespread visibility is not anticipated, clear skies and favorable conditions could allow observers in northern states to witness the display. AI
