Northern lights possible as solar storms gather
SMRTR summary
A massive X9-rated solar flare, the largest since 2017, has erupted from the Sun. This event, coupled with two predicted geomagnetic storms, may create Northern Lights viewing opportunities in parts of the UK and northern US this weekend. As the Sun nears its "solar maximum," more aurora sightings are expected in the coming months, though cloudy weather may limit visibility in many areas.
