Spectacular Northern Lights Expected Amid Upcoming Solar Storms
TL;DR Summary
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasts increased auroral activity, with the northern lights potentially visible in parts of the northern U.S. states like Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin due to a geomagnetic storm. The Kp index is expected to reach four on Tuesday and five on Thursday, indicating brighter auroras. The best viewing times are between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., away from light pollution. This surge in celestial activity is linked to a solar maximum, which will continue to enhance visibility of the aurora borealis through 2025.
