TL;DR Summary

NASA warns that a possible collision between a coronal mass ejection (CME) and Earth may occur on November 25. The surge in solar activity has led to an increase in sunspots and the launch of several CMEs. If a CME hits Earth, it can cause a geomagnetic storm, disrupting the planet's magnetic field and atmosphere. Geomagnetic storms can enhance the aurora, leading to colorful displays of lights in the sky near the poles. Depending on the storm's strength, the aurora may be visible in lower latitudes than usual.
