Solar Storm Supercharges Northern Lights, Visible in Southern Skies
Aurora Borealis Expands to Unprecedented Latitudes
Geomagnetic Storm Impacts Continue Through Weekend
A powerful magnetic storm, triggered by a solar flare, has illuminated the night skies with vibrant auroras as far south as Alabama. The storm is expected to continue through the weekend, offering rare opportunities to witness the Northern Lights in unexpected locations.
Observers in Maine captured stunning images of the aurora, marking some of the southernmost sightings of this celestial phenomenon in recent history. Forecasts indicate that the auroras could potentially be visible in even more southerly regions, including Alabama, where they are typically not visible.
The geomagnetic storm has also caused disruptions to power grids and communications systems in some areas. Experts warn that the storm could persist for several more days, potentially leading to further impacts on technology and infrastructure.
