A significant solar storm, driven by an M8.2 solar flare, is currently affecting Earth, leading to a Level 3 geomagnetic storm warning. This event could disrupt GPS, radio, and electrical systems, especially impacting regions in the Midwest and Northeast that could experience blackouts. Additionally, the storm is expected to create spectacular auroras across 13 US states and parts of the UK and Europe. The best viewing times for these northern lights are between 10pm and 2am, ideally away from city lights to enhance visibility.
