Solar storm could disrupt communications and display northern lights to parts of California
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued a severe geomagnetic storm watch that could disrupt communications, the power grid, navigation, radio and satellite operations but also generate a nighttime light show.
Expect Northern Lights And A Comet This Weekend As ‘Solar Max’ Nears
Why this weekend is perfect for seeing the northern lights and a naked-eye comet as geomagnetic activity ramps-up and comet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) returns.
Northern Lights possible as solar storms gather
Solar flares do not cause the Northern Lights. They are caused by a phenomenon called coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that erupt from an active sun spot. Combined with flares, they can create solar storms that interact with Earth's magnetic field or magnetosphere.
A ‘severe’ Earth-bound solar storm could bring northern lights far south
The aurora borealis could be seen as far south as Alabama and California on Thursday night, and the surge of solar particles could extend into Friday too.
How far south will the northern lights extend due to a 'severe' solar storm?
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.
Severe solar storm could stress power grids even more as U.S. deals with major hurricanes
A severe solar storm is headed to Earth that could stress power grids even more as the U.S. deals with major back-to-back hurricanes, space weather forecasters said Wednesday. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a severe geomagnetic storm watch for Thursday into Friday after an outburst from the sun was detected earlier this week.
