G2 storm watch: auroras may reach northern US skies Oct. 8-9
Original: G2 geomagnetic storm watch issued as CME heads for Earth — northern lights possible across northern US Oct. 8-9 https://
Forecasters have issued a G2 geomagnetic storm watch after a coronal mass ejection erupted from the sun and is expected to reach Earth around October 8-9. The disturbance could supercharge the northern lights, pushing auroras visible further south than usual, potentially across northern parts of the United States. Space weather watchers are advising skygazers to look up midweek if skies are clear.
Why now: A solar storm arriving this week could make the northern lights visible in unusual locations, drawing wide public interest.
