Incoming solar storms could spark auroras this weekend and thanks to the spring equinox, Earth is perfectly aligned to amplify the show.
A series of solar eruptions and fast solar wind streams are expected to stir up Earth's magnetic field over the coming days and they're arriving at one of the best possible times for aurora chasers.
Geomagnetic storms are expected between March 20 and March 21 as a mix of incoming coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and high-speed solar wind streams buffet Earth's magnetic field. NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a moderate (G2) geomagnetic storm watch through March 21, with a chance that conditions could briefly reach strong (G3) levels.
