Double sunscreen can mean auroras over the US this week

According to experts in NOAA Cosmic Time Prediction CenterTwo Crown Mass (CME) discards are on the way to the ground and they can bring a glowing gift: a potential auroral display that reaches south than usual – it probably illuminates the sky over parts of the northern US, such as New York and Idaho.

This cosmic time signal is bound by a rare sunny double characteristic: two eruptions of magnetic filaments that fired CME from the sun over the weekend. If both CME arrives on Earth close to each other, as a forecast, we can look at the G2-Class (moderate) conditions of the geomagnetic storm on Wednesday.

The sun undergoes an 11-year cycle, during which its magnetic field flows the direction, triggering changes to its surface. This cycle leads to the formation of sunspots – regions of the sunny surface where magnetic field lines are particularly intense. These sunspots often turn into hot spots for powerful solar activity, such as flames and disposal of coronal mass (CME).

When these energy outbursts send charged particles to the ground, they can disrupt radio -signals, influence the power grilles and create stunning Aurors while particles collide with the earth’s atmosphere.

According to the NOAA newsletter, the two CME, which left the sun on April 13, is expected to reach the outside atmosphere of our planet on April 16, with the effects of the explosions lasting until April 17.

Sean Dahl, Coordinator of Services for the Center for Space Time, said to Gizmodo Last year, that: “The bottom line is that we will be under the influence of increased activity throughout this year, throughout the next year and even in 2026, where we will continue to have a better chance of this type of activities that we will continue to happen from time to time the rest of this maximum of this sunny cycle we are experiencing.”

In other words, more geomagnetic storms can be expected as the sun passes its cycle. With the rare exception – look at the Carrington event since 1859 – events will not break your daily routine. But if we are lucky, we could cast a brilliant look at how our sun generates natural light shows high in the sky on our planet.
