Read previewFor the first time in 20 years, NOAA has issued a G4 geomagnetic storm warning. NOAAAnd in the last 24 hours, AR3664 spit out four coronal mass ejections that are now hurtling toward Earth at roughly 560 miles per second, Owens told BI. Even states including Maryland, New York, and Pennsylvania, could catch a glimpse of the aurora low on the horizon, Young told BI. The reality is that we just won't know how bright, active, and wide-reaching the aurora will be until the coronal mass ejections reach Earth's atmosphere. The most extreme estimate of aurora and where they can be seen in the US came from Alex Young.

A stunning aurora may be visible farther south than usual this Friday, lighting up the northern US. That's thanks to an overactive, giant spot seven times the size of Earth that's erupting on the sun. Northern border states from Washington to Michigan are most likely to see the aurora Friday night. AdvertisementThe Northern Lights are forecast to reach farther south than usual this Friday, dazzling the northern US. We mainly owe this spectacle to a giant, hyperactive sunspot called AR3664 that's seven times the size of Earth and has been producing powerful eruptions, called coronal mass ejections, for the last several days.
