A series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections from the sun are expected to create stunning auroras visible as far south as Alabama and Northern California this weekend, as reported by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center.
These solar activities lead to the formation of auroras, also known as the northern lights (aurora borealis) and southern lights (aurora australis), which dance around Earth’s poles. When charged particles from coronal mass ejections interact with Earth’s magnetic field, they produce colorful lights in the atmosphere.
