Geomagnetic Storms Expected to Illuminate Skies with Northern Lights

Solar activity may bring auroras visible as far south as northern U.S. states and parts of Europe this week.

NOAA has issued strong geomagnetic storm watches, predicting auroras from multiple coronal mass ejections.
The strongest activity is expected Tuesday night, with potential visibility extending to northern Oregon and Illinois.
Auroras might also be seen in parts of the U.K., Germany, and Australia during local nighttime hours.
Predictions are challenging due to the unpredictable nature of solar flares and coronal mass ejections.
Optimal viewing conditions include dark skies away from city lights, with the best times between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.
