Northern Lights to Illuminate U.S. Skies Amid Geomagnetic Storm
TL;DR Summary
The Northern Lights may be visible in parts of the continental U.S. on November 28 and 29 due to favorable geomagnetic storm conditions. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts a G1 geomagnetic storm on Thursday and a G2 storm on Friday, potentially allowing aurora sightings as far south as New York and Idaho. This increased solar activity follows a recent M9.4-class solar flare and coronal mass ejection. Skywatchers are advised to avoid light pollution and check NOAA's aurora forecasts for optimal viewing.
