The sun expelled two bursts of plasma heading towards Earth, expected to bring colorful auroras in several northern U.S. states just in time for the New Year.
NOAA forecaster Shawn Dahl noted that the best chance to view the auroras would be in the early morning hours on Tuesday, ideally under clear dark skies.
Scientists indicate that the sun is currently at the maximum phase of its 11-year cycle, fostering more frequent solar surges and northern lights displays across the globe.
This week’s solar storms may disrupt high-frequency radio communications, which are crucial for airlines and amateur radio operators, as NOAA continues monitoring their effects.
