"Northern Lights: Where and When to Catch the Spectacular Aurora Displays Across America"

A series of powerful bursts of hot plasma from the sun, known as coronal mass ejections, are expected to cause strong auroras visible in Massachusetts this week. The National Weather Service has issued a geomagnetic storm watch based on recent observations. The best chance to see the northern lights will be in Canada, but it is possible to see them as far south as the Mass Pike. Skywatchers should look north and get away from city lights for the best viewing experience.

"Northern Lights Forecast: Spectacular Weekend Sky Show Across US"

The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a Moderate Geomagnetic Storm Watch for November 11 and 12, as a burst of energy called a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) is expected to reach Earth's atmosphere during that time. There is a 35% chance of a moderate geomagnetic storm and a 25% chance of a strong geomagnetic storm, with the potential for northern lights to be visible as far south as central Lower Michigan. Clearing is expected after sunset on Saturday, increasing the chances of seeing the northern lights.
