Northern Lights Due to a “coronal hole”, tonight may appear towards the south as New York and Idaho, sending the streams of particles charged to the Earth.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) released G2 Geomagnetic store watch On Tuesday, March 25, around 7 am tomorrow (24 March). Just before midnight, the alert was upgraded to a storm warning. Like a storm, geomagnetic storms follow the severity of 5 digits scaleG2 storms are considered to be “moderate” in strength and it can cause minor technical disruption like radio blackout, GPS FallAnd the growing possibility of spotting and spotting and spotting the aurus at less than normal.
“Watches of this level are not uncommon,” according to NOAA’s Space Weather Phenom CenterG2- Forces, geomagnetic storms killed the Earth for about 360 days every 11-year solar cycle. These storms can affect the classes of the spacecraft and cause weak power grid at high latitudes, but they mostly cause “managed effects for some technical infrastructure” according to NOAA.
Space season prediction Center released today’s storm watch as a “coronal hole” is facing the Earth on the sun. The coronal holes are coolers, the deep areas of the outer atmosphere of the sun (corona) that are less dense than normal, allow high-speed solar winds-charged streams to the currents of particles-to escape from the sun and escape in the space. Today, one of these high -speed currents will be indicated directly to Earth.

Earth Magnetic field Most solar deflections the air, but some charged particles make it in the upper layers of the atmosphere. When the solar air kills the Earth’s atmosphere, the charged particles shoot towards the Earth’s poles, move atmospheric molecules on the way and force them to emit energy in the form of colored andorus.
In October 2024, Suraj reached himself Solar maximum periodThe most active part of its 11 -year cycle. During this period, the sun’s magnetic poles flip, and space weather phenomena such as geomagnetic storm and solar flair are more frequent. Scientists estimate that the solar maximum will continue for at least a few more months. If not for a long time, the northern lights provide additional opportunities to spot.
On Tuesday, “Arora may appear in some northern and upper midwest states from New York to Idaho,” according to A statement Noaa’s space weather from the forecast center. The best likely to spot Arora The dark, clear nights between 10 am and 2 pm away from artificial lights. You can see Andorus with naked eyes, but their colors can look even more vivid through the smartphone screen.
Conditions for weak G1 storms will run till Wednesday (26 March). According to the NOAA, these weak geomagnetic storms affect technical systems less strongly, but they still produce morers on high latitude.
