A major solar storm brought aurora sightings as far south as Colorado and Connecticut in the US Monday night, alongside sightings in Europe as far south as Germany and France. But, if you missed the display, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scales indicate the solar storm's effects could linger into Tuesday night.
NOAA data indicates solar activity reached a KP8, G4 solar storm overnight between January 19 and the early hours of January 20. That’s due to a solar storm that NOAA indicated was the “largest solar radiation storm in over 20 years.”
