The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has released a forecast indicating a potential display of the Northern Lights across various parts of the United States this weekend. The aurora borealis, a natural light display typically seen in high-latitude regions, occurs when charged particles from the sun interact with Earth's magnetic field, creating vibrant lights in the sky. NOAA's forecast suggests that recent solar events have increased the likelihood of geomagnetic storms, making conditions favorable for auroral activity.
