A powerful G3 geomagnetic storm is expected to impact the Earth, possibly causing radio blackouts and disruptions to the power grid in several U.S. regions. The storm, triggered by a coronal mass ejection, is affecting the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Midwest, with implications for GPS and satellite operations. Northern lights could be visible across 19 states, including as south as New York and Wisconsin, offering a spectacular display at night. Experts advise outdoor viewing between 10pm and 2am for optimal aurora sightings.
A G3 geomagnetic storm could interfere with power grid operations in the Mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Midwest regions of the US, potentially causing power outages.
If the storm persists for another 10 hours, power outages could occur, leading to disruptions in crucial systems like GPS and satellite operations.
Scientists predict colorful aurora displays in 19 states, with northern lights visible as far south as New York and Wisconsin, best viewed between 10pm and 2am.
This space weather event is a result of a coronal mass ejection that hit Earth, causing a significant disturbance of the planet's magnetic field.
