Solar Flare Prompts Northern Lights Display Across Northern U.S.
A powerful solar flare that erupted from the sun on May 10 has resulted in a coronal mass ejection (CME) heading towards Earth, increasing the likelihood of a Northern Lights display. According to space weather experts from NOAA and the UK Met Office, this cosmic event could trigger a weak geomagnetic storm, making the aurora visible from late May 12 into the early morning hours of May 13. The Northern Lights, known for their vibrant greens, purples, and blues, are expected to be visible across parts of Alaska, Canada, and the northern United States, including areas like northern Michigan and Maine. Observers are advised to check NOAA's 30-minute aurora forecast for real-time updates and to find a dark, rural location for optimal viewing.
