Massive solar storm illuminates U.S. skies
A powerful solar storm lit up the skies with northern lights as far south as Florida on Tuesday night. According to NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, the X5.1 solar flare that day was the sixth largest of the solar cycle and possibly among the top 39 flares in the modern space age. A rare Severe Geomagnetic Storm Watch, rated level 4 out of 5, remains in effect through Wednesday.
The flare sent charged particles racing toward Earth, sparking a radiation storm and possibly setting off the northern lights as far south as the Southeast later this week.
