Brasher mentioned that there is an ongoing geomagnetic storm activity expected to persist. The visual effects may continue until Tuesday as the Earth absorbs the impact with a delayed time frame.
“The active region on the sun responsible for this weather phenomena is still active,” Brasher added. “There is a possibility of new events occurring as a result.”
Auroras are visible in the sky when charged particles are ejected from the sun during solar storms. The colorful light display occurs when clouds of these particles interact with Earth’s magnetic field and collide with atoms and molecules in the upper atmosphere, creating a bright light.
Normally, the Northern Lights are only visible at high latitudes. However, during intense solar storms like the one on Friday, they can be seen farther south than usual. Click here for sighting information in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi.
