A powerful solar outburst is likely to trigger a "severe" geomagnetic storm on Thursday, with auroras potentially visible as far south as California and Alabama, NOAA predicts.

    Alaska resident here…Auroras have been going nuts last few days. My wife and I texted all the neighbors on Monday night. The whole street came out to watch. Usually, we mostly see green and occasionally silver/white. Monday night was was a lot of red/white/green. Reds seem to be the most rare

      I’ve seen some lights in my lifetime, in MT mostly. Can you see other colors (like the rare red, purple, etc) without a camera?

        The picture is pretty close to what we saw by the naked eye.

    The Aurora forecast maps don’t show it going that far south at all.

      Yeah, not even close. I was absolutely ready to drive north tomorrow night to watch it until I checked NOAA. Now I’m going to stay here and get drunk.

    Picking California as a reference is so stupid. Like, it’s long as hell.

      Even the north most parts of California experiencing auroras is a newsworthy event though!

    Not to be a spoil sport, but it could hit during the day. They think it might arrive as early as this morning.
    Unsure hope long these shows go on for, but that’sa consideration.

      I looked at the NOAA aurora forecast and it doesn’t even really go into Oregon. This headline is just wrong

    I live in a northern swampland and as such, just always get a yellowish glow because of the humidity. I think? We just always have this general glow that kills any fun cosmic opportunities.

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth’s surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more…
