Will the Northern Lights appear by Friday? Powerful solar flare sparks new hopes
A powerful solar flare has erupted, sending a cloud of material towards Earth. Scientists are monitoring this event for potential geomagnetic activity and aurora displays. This coronal mass ejection could reach our planet by Friday morning. The visibility of the Northern Lights depends on the CME's impact and orientation. Further monitoring will clarify the extent of the geomagnetic storm and auroral visibility.
Powerful solar flare erupts from the sun, raising chances for dazzling Northern Lights display by Friday
The sun unleashed a powerful M6.9 solar flare, triggering a coronal mass ejection (CME) now forecast to reach Earth later this week and potentially spark a minor geomagnetic storm.
Sun fires powerful M6.9 solar flare and CME toward Earth — could it boost northern lights chances this week?
Today (Aug. 25), the sun unleashed a powerful M6.9 solar flare from a restless Earth-facing sunspot, hurling a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space — and Earth could potentially be in the firing line. The M6.98 solar flare erupted from the active sunspot region 4513 and peaked at 6 a.m. EDT (1000 GMT), according to SpaceWeatherLive. 4513 has been particularly active over the last 24 hours, firing off a barrage of solar flares including five po…
