An “isolated” period of geomagnetic storms is likely to disrupt Earth’s magnetic field late Thursday, as several states could have a chance to see the northern lights, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Auroras may be visible from Alaska to Washington as a giant hole in the sun's atmosphere fuels geomagnetic storms with a high-speed solar wind.

Moderate solar storm may create northern lights viewing opportunities. Find out when and where to look for this celestial display.
