TL;DR Summary

A coronal mass ejection from a massive sunspot cluster could make the northern lights visible over parts of New England on Friday night. Although the geomagnetic storm is weaker than the one earlier this month, it may still allow for aurora sightings in some northern and upper Midwest states. Massachusetts skies are expected to be clear, but the aurora's visibility is uncertain. However, the sunspot can be seen as a dark dot on the sun using solar eclipse glasses.
