Northern Lights Keep Dancing After Two Spectacular Nights
• Geomagnetic storms are still active, possibly offering chances to see the Northern Lights across northern U.S., Canada, and northern Europe.
• The ongoing impact of a CME from a solar flare is causing strong geomagnetic storm conditions.
• Clear skies are essential for viewing the aurora; use a weather app to monitor cloud cover.
Auroras visible after geomagnetic storm impact
The Northern Lights continue to dance after two spectacular nights of auroras visible across North America and as far south as Mexico. Geomagnetic storms remain active tonight, driven by the ongoing impact of a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the Nov. 11 X5.1 solar flare on Earth’s space environment. This CME is maintaining elevated solar wind speeds, leading to potentially strong to severe geomagnetic storm conditions (G3 to G4) through early Friday.
