"Massive Solar Storm to Illuminate Northern Lights in 17 US States"
TL;DR Summary
A solar storm expected on Thursday will give sky gazers in 17 American states, including Alaska, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Michigan, a chance to witness the northern lights, also known as aurora borealis. This rare occurrence is due to an 11-year solar cycle that is peaking in 2024, making the lights visible in places farther south. The best viewing times are between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time, away from city lights. The Geophysical Institute has forecast a Kp 6 geomagnetic index for Thursday's storm.
