'Severe' solar storm could cause tech disruptions, bring northern lights farther south
A "severe" solar storm could make the northern lights visible in the U.S. farther south than usual while also posing the potential to disrupt modern technology.
Overhead northern lights in MN possible with rare G4 solar storm watch
The northern lights, also known as aurora borealis, could be visible overhead everywhere in Minnesota, and even as far south Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois. Typically, overhead displays of the auroras are only visible in Canada and the Arctic Circle, but more powerful solar storms like the one on its way can bring the lights further south.
A ‘severe’ Earth-bound solar storm could bring northern lights far south
As a severe solar storm hits Earth, the surge of particles can overload energy systems and interrupt satellite communications. The timing of this storm could hit up to hours to days after Hurricane Milton hits, making landfall near or just south of Tampa Bay and then moving east across Florida.
Eastern states could get another glimpse of the northern lights thanks to 'very rare' solar storm watch, NOAA says
It is only the second time in 20 years for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to release a watch of this magnitude.
Northern lights could be visible in Wisconsin as part of a 'very rare' solar storm this week
Sky watchers could see the northern lights in Wisconsin this week after an eruption of solar material makes its way to Earth.
