☆ 'Holes' in Earth's magnetic field could cause extra northern lights this month. Here's how to spot them.

March 2024 may be the best month in the best year to see the Northern Lights, aka aurora borealis. Here's everything you need to know to spot the northern lights. AdvertisementThis could be the best month, of the best year for two decades, to see the Northern Lights, in part, thanks to openings in Earth's magnetic field. The northern lights dance in the skies above Riverton, Wyoming. If you're lucky and you plan right, you might be able to see the Northern Lights this month.

☆ A cluster of sunspots 15 times bigger than Earth could send a solar storm our way as early as Saturday

These have been fizzing with activity and could send solar weather toward Earth as early as Saturday. Space weather is mostly harmless, though scientists are looking out for a rare once-a-century superstorm. It had already shot out three M-class and several C-class solar flares before it came into view, per spaceweather.com. "The spots are fairly big and complex, which suggests they're likely to produce some space weather," said Owens. AdvertisementAs of Friday evening, the US and UK agencies that monitor space weather forecasted a low risk of any type of dangerous solar weather in the coming days.

☆ A giant eruption covered 'over half the sun,' then crashed into Earth nearly 12 hours earlier than forecast

Forecasting solar storms is especially difficult right now, even as the sun is getting more active. CMEs fling charged, super-hot plasma into space, and sometimes — like in the case of this CME — that plasma strikes Earth. On the bright side, these solar storms also make stunning displays of the Northern Lights, or aurora borealis, visible in the middle of the US. On a different day, all of these effects combined could have created a very violent solar storm. In the worst-case scenario, which is very rare, all the conditions align to send a very fast and very powerful solar storm to Earth.
