Northern Michigan will have a low chance of viewing the northern lights Saturday night, with a G1 minor solar storm expected, according to the Space Weather Prediction Center. The stronger the solar storm, the farther south the aurora will appear.
Aurora chasers are on high alert for minor geomagnetic storm conditions from Jan. 24 through to Jan. 25. Northern lights might be visible over some northern and upper Midwest states.
The effects of a coronal mass ejection—a bubble of plasma that bursts from the sun’s surface—will likely impact Earth’s magnetic field on Saturday, bringing the northern lights to several northern U.S.
Solar material is gusting out of the dark patch in the Sun's corona towards Earth at more than a million miles per hour.
The agency expects a minor or greater geomagnetic storm—a disturbance of Earth’s magnetic field—on Saturday, which increases the likelihood of northern lights displays being visible to more people, as the effects of a recent coronal mass ejection reach Earth, according to NOAA’s three-day forecast.
The aurora borealis is back and is expected to be visible in more than 10 states. See which states will have the best views.
Sky gazers in several U.S. states could get a colorful glimpse of the northern lights as we enter the weekend, thanks to a recent geomagnetic storm.
Aurora chasers are on high alert as a minor geomagnetic storm is expected to hit Earth soon, potentially triggering spectacular northern lights displays in the northern hemisphere.
A mid-level flare that erupted from the sun on January 22 could bring the northern lights to several US states over the weekend. NASA’s three-day forecast is predicting geomagnetic activity as high as KP 5.33 January 24 and 25, which could mean several US states as well as Canada could be in for a show tonight.
A solar storm originating from a coronal mass ejection is predicted to hit Earth between January 24 and January 25, potentially triggering auroras visible across northern regions
