Northern Lights Expected to Illuminate Skies Across Much of the U.S. Due to Solar Activity
The Northern Lights, or auroras, are expected to be visible across more than 15 states in the U.S. on Monday night, following a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued geomagnetic storm watches for Monday and Tuesday, predicting a strong G3-level storm on Monday and a moderate G2-level storm on Tuesday. These geomagnetic storms occur when charged particles from the sun interact with Earth's magnetosphere, creating vibrant displays of light. The visibility of the auroras will depend on the timing and intensity of the storm, with potential sightings as far south as New York and Idaho during a G2 storm, and Illinois and Oregon during a G3 storm.
