The storm, fueled by multiple coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the sun earlier this week, has prompted a geomagnetic storm watch from the U.
S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ( NOAA ). Regions far south of the Arctic Circle may catch a glimpse of this natural spectacle, which is usually reserved for high-latitude areas near the magnetic poles.
Scientists note that the ongoing solar cycle’s peak phase is enhancing the frequency and intensity of such events, with more possible sightings expected throughout the year. But aside from their beauty, solar storms can have significant effects on satellite operations, communication systems, and power infrastructure..
