G2 storm watch issued as solar eruption nears Earth
Original: G2 geomagnetic storm watch issued as CME heads for Earth — northern lights possible across northern US Oct. 8-9
Forecasters have issued a G2 geomagnetic storm watch after a coronal mass ejection was detected traveling toward Earth. The disturbance is expected to arrive around October 8-9, potentially pushing the aurora borealis unusually far south, with northern lights visible across parts of the northern United States. Skywatchers are being advised to look north on clear nights during that window.
Why now: A solar storm arriving October 8-9 could produce visible northern lights across the northern US, prompting wide public interest.
