Scientists have forecasted a geomagnetic storm Thursday night. While clouds may block the view in some areas, here's where you could see the show of lights.

The Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) could be seen as far south as New York state from the end of November to early December.

Midwest states as far south as Iowa and Ohio could see Northern Lights tonight, forecasters said. And aurora will now be more visible as the suns magnetic poles are shifting

Recent heightened solar activity, marked by increased sunspots and frequent coronal mass ejections (CMEs), presents a potential collision between these CMEs and Earth. These massive CMEs, ejecting billions of tons of material at speeds up to 3000 km/s, originate from the Suns core. They can cause disruptions termed geomagnetic storms, graded on a G1 to G5 scale. Although a G1 storm poses minimal direct threats to life, it may impact power grids, GPS, and satellite operations.

Geomagnetic storms could enhance aurora and be visible in lower latitudes. Possible collision between CME and Earth by late November 25. | World News

MinorG1-class geomagnetic storms are possible late on November 25th through 26th when two CMEs might graze Earth's magnetic field.

An explanation of what solar flares are, why they happen, what effect they have on earth, and what a regular person can do to prepare for one hitting the planet.

The Met Offices Space Weather arm said Aurora borealis would likely be visible across parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland and even as far south as central England and Wales if skies are clear.

Space is a dangerous place, especially when it comes to high-energy particles, and intense solar activity can pose threats to people and technology on Earth.
