Northern lights visible across U.S., even reaching the deep south, due to solar storm

Dazzling colors lit up the night sky over the United States as the aurora borealis was visible as far south as Florida and even possibly Hawaii. NBC News’ George Solis speaks with a planetarium director to learn more about what’s causing the spectacle in the sky.

    You may know this already, but just in case you don't, you can't always see it with the naked eye. Try putting your phone camera in dark mode and take a picture towards the northern sky. You might get lucky. I didn't know that till last night. I'm in a town with too much light and trees to my north but when I saw someone comment that on Facebook I tried it and I got a little color. Nothing like a lot of people are posting but it was something, even though the sky just looked black to me. I'm still not checking it off my bucket list yet though.

    Think of how magnets can affect electronics. The sun and the earth both have magnetic poles (north and south/positive negative.) Solar flares shoot out charged particles, which sometimes head towards earth.

    That's the part I can explain mostly accurate. The rest is how those charged particles interact with our own magnetic fields, which I can't explain very well because a lot of different stuff happens lol

    But... The sun has an approximately 11 year cycle, every 11 years or so the suns magnetic poles switch. Halfway between the flip we have whats called solar maximum, meaning more sun flares. We're currently in solar maximum until about 2026, so there's potential for more northern and southern lights, and all the other magnet-y charged particles science stuff I can't explain lol

    Not only is it weak, it’s getting weaker at an accelerating rate. Couple this with the magnetic poles migrating towards the equator, what we may witness is the REAL climate change in the coming years.

    In 1989 there was a solar storm so strong, the northern lights were visible in Central America. In 2003 there was a large storm with lights visible at least as far south as Miami.

    ​@@user-dm3nt4nr5j per NASA... "In the past 200 years, Earth’s magnetic field has weakened about nine percent on a global average. Some people cite this as “evidence” a pole reversal is imminent, but scientists have no reason to believe so. In fact, paleomagnetic studies show the field is about as strong as it’s been in the past 100,000 years, and is twice as intense as its million-year average. While some scientists estimate the field’s strength might completely decay in about 1,300 years, the current weakening could stop at any time.''
