Sun unleashes a flare flood as Earth-bound CMEs lift July 4 aurora hopes
TL;DR
The Sun erupted with 10 M-class flares in 24 hours, with several coronal mass ejections headed toward Earth. NOAA forecasts suggest geomagnetic activity (G1–G2) could spark auroras across parts of the northern U.S. around the July 3–4 weekend, depending on CME interactions and magnetic-field orientation; viewing may be hindered by twilight in some areas.
