A severe solar storm is expected to supercharge the northern lights on Friday, with forecasts indicating that auroras could be seen as far south in the United States as Alabama. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center said on Thursday that a series of solar flares and eruptions from the sun could trigger severe geomagnetic storms and “spectacular displays of aurora” on Earth from Friday evening through the weekend.
” The agency maintains an aurora dashboard that provides short-term forecasts of the northern lights. If conditions are clear, auroras are best viewed from locations that are dark and far from city lights. Amplified northern lights shows are not the only byproducts of severe storms on the sun, however. Solar flares unleash clouds of plasma and charged particles, called coronal mass ejections, into space.
