Scientists warn of a 'severe' geomagnetic storm capable of disrupting power grids, mobile networks, and GPS satellites. The event is expected to create a stunning aurora display visible even in southern regions like Cornwall.
Solar flares and eruptions have merged into a powerful wave about to hit Earth, with the potential to create vibrant auroras due to solar particles colliding with the planet's magnetic field.
NOAA issued a Severe (G4) Geomagnetic Storm Watch, the first since 2005, as a massive fast flare is set to combine all radiation into a single wave, promising spectacular Northern Lights.
Despite the disruptive potential, the solar storm brings exciting prospects for stargazers across the Northern Hemisphere, with visibility expected in the UK and similar latitudes.
