Aurora Forecast

Northern Hemisphere

The Aurora Borealis is a rather violent astronomical event. Energized particles from the Sun slam into Earth’s upper atmosphere at speeds upward to 45 million mph. However, Earth’s magnetic field guards us–unless there is another Carrington Event like that occurred in 1859, which was the most intense and dangerous geomagnetic storm in recorded history.
