Throughout the night from Thursday, October 10th to Friday, October 11th, the Northern Lights could be seen as far south as Florida and even in light-polluted urban areas like New York City. Pink, purple, red, and green lights could be seen in these areas that are normally invisible due to intense (G4) geomagnetic storms. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center monitored a strong X-class solar flare and associated coronal mass ejection (CME) that began on October 8th. See some star photos of this exciting space weather event from China, Canada, Key West, and more. .

On October 10, 2024, the northern lights, or aurora borealis, produced by the Sun’s magnetic storms can be seen from Shenandoah National Park in Rileyville, Virginia. A coronal mass ejection from the Sun hit Earth at 11:17 a.m. (15:17 GMT) this morning. , disrupting Earth’s magnetic field and rapidly reaching G4 (severe) geomagnetic storm status at 12:57 p.m., the U.S. Space Weather Prediction Center said. The event is expected to bring the possibility of aurora borealis as far south as Northern California and Alabama. Credit: SAUL LOEB/AFP, Getty Images
