TL;DR Summary

Solar storms are causing auroras to be potentially visible in the US and UK on Monday night, with the northern lights possibly seen as far south as the midwest and in Scotland. In the southern hemisphere, the aurora australis could be visible in southern Australia. The spectacle coincides with a penumbral lunar eclipse visible around the world. The storms are caused by coronal mass ejections from the sun, and severe storms can disrupt power networks and satellites. The solar cycle is likely nearing its peak this year, with the potential for increased solar activity over the next few years.
