Intense Solar Activity Promises More Northern Lights

A returning sunspot could trigger geomagnetic storms, offering another chance to witness auroras in unexpected places.

Sunspot AR3697, formerly AR3664, has reemerged, continuing to produce powerful X-class solar flares.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasts moderate geomagnetic storms, potentially visible from New York to Idaho.
Recent solar flares have already caused radio blackouts in the U.S. and Europe.
The peak viewing window for potential auroras is expected around June 6, coinciding with a new moon for optimal visibility.
Scientists emphasize the unpredictability of solar activity, advising to stay updated with NOAA forecasts.
