Northern Lights Illuminate U.S. Skies Amid Solar Storm Activity

A recent geomagnetic storm has transformed the night skies across the U.S., creating stunning displays of the Northern Lights, also known as auroras. According to Phys.org, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reported a severe G4 geomagnetic storm due to multiple coronal mass ejections from an active sunspot named AR4274.

These solar eruptions sent clouds of high-energy plasma toward Earth, with the storm beginning on November 12, 2025. The auroras, typically visible in polar regions, have been spotted further south than usual, bringing joy and wonder to many skygazers.

The storm's intensity allows for the possibility of seeing auroras in places like the northern U.S. states, and even as far south as regions that rarely experience such phenomena.
