Severe solar storm will make northern lights visible in Michigan | #SolarStorm #northernlights
Earth could be impacted by a major geomagnetic storm starting Friday, making the northern lights visible to most of Michigan, not just the northern region.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration issued a severe geomagnetic storm watch Thursday, the first time since 2005 that the agency had put out a so-called G4 alert. The storm was expected to hit Earth’s magnetic field Friday and persist into the weekend.

In an update Friday evening, NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center said G5, or extreme, conditions had been observed for the first time since 2003.
