"Upcoming Solar Activity May Illuminate Northern Lights Across the US"

The northern lights, caused by solar flares and geomagnetic activity, may be visible in the U.S. again soon, but Binghamton is unlikely to see them this week. Meteorologist Michael Kistner notes a 25% chance of a solar flare in the next 48 hours, but it would need to produce a coronal mass ejection to create an aurora. Future opportunities to see the northern lights in New York may arise as the solar cycle continues.

"Chance to See Northern Lights in June as Solar Activity Rises"

Florida may have another chance to see the northern lights in early June due to expected geomagnetic storms from coronal mass ejections. While rare, intense solar flares could push auroras to lower latitudes, making them visible in Florida, especially in areas with low light pollution and clear skies. The NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a Geomagnetic Storm Watch through the weekend, with the best viewing opportunities around the New Moon on June 6.
