Geomagnetic storm watch raises aurora hopes across northern US
Original: aurora
The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G2 (moderate) geomagnetic storm watch for October 9. Storms of this strength can push the northern lights to latitudes farther south than usual, drawing interest from skywatchers across the northern United States. People are checking space weather forecasts and sharing viewing tips and predictions ahead of the event.
Why now: A geomagnetic storm watch means the aurora may be visible in more places than usual, prompting interest from skywatchers.
