Severe Solar Storms May Bring Northern Lights to 21 U.S. States
TL;DR Summary
A severe geomagnetic storm watch has been issued for the U.S. due to multiple coronal mass ejections from the sun, with the strongest expected to hit Earth on November 12, 2025. This could lead to spectacular northern lights visible as far south as Alabama and California, but also poses a risk to critical technology infrastructure. The storm's intensity is classified as G4, a rare level, and observers are encouraged to find dark skies for a chance to see the auroras.
