Plenty of people’s bucket lists include a trip to the poles to see the auroras. Within the coming years, the phenomena may increase as we approach the upcoming solar maximum in the summer of 2025. SyFy shares how it may be easier to check it off your list.
Having traveled through space at a blistering two million miles per hour, a wave of ejected plasma struck Earth’s electromagnetic field, generating a geomagnetic storm. By the time it arrived, it had been upgraded not once but twice to Severe (level 4). Unusually high levels of energy in the atmosphere pushed the aurora much farther toward the equator than is typical. As a result, nature’s most beautiful light show, usually reserved for the brave few living at higher latitudes, made a surprise appearance in as many as 30 states in the U.S. as well as parts of Scotland and norther Europe.
