Residents in the northern United States are expected to have the opportunity to observe aurorae.
NASA has issued a warning regarding an increase in sunspots and the anticipated release of several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the coming days. According to EarthSky, scientists have identified disruptions in Earth's magnetic field known as G1 geomagnetic storms. These storms represent temporary disturbances in the planet's magnetic field. Consequently, people residing in northern and southern latitudes may experience enhanced displays of the captivating northern and southern lights, commonly referred to as aurorae. Aurora alert! A CME - a great burp of material and magnetic fields - arrived at Earth today, which should be causing auroral displays now. By tonight, the auroras might extend to areas like the northern U.S. Read more at https://t.co/6Xd48jM0Nfpic.twitter.com/WqwYFyyvEq
The surge in coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Sun initiated a geomagnetic storm on Earth at approximately 8:59 UTC or 2:05 IST on November 25. Residents in the northern United States are expected to have the opportunity to observe aurorae. Additionally, EarthSky has indicated the possibility of another storm occurring tomorrow.
