A potent cannibal solar storm has hit Earth and could put on a spectacular northern lights display across the U.S tonight.
A fast-moving coronal mass ejection (CME), launched by a long-duration M2.7 flare from sunspot AR 4199 on Aug. 30, slammed into Earth's magnetic field around 5 p.m. EDT (2100 GMT) on Sept. 1, according to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC).
The CME is likely to spark a G2 (moderate) to G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm, with a chance of reaching G4 (severe) levels, according to NOAA and the U.K. Met Office. That means auroras could extend much farther south than usual — potentially giving millions across the northern and even central U.S. a shot at catching the lights.

It will be nothing like the summer of 1979... They were out pretty much every night during that summer... Spectacular auroras... Never seen anything like it since then.
Cannibal storms? Yikes! I better stay in tonight
.
And the clouds are rolling in, after two weeks of solid clear skies, right on time.
I will be watching. Seeing the Northern Lights is on my bucket list.
Same.
No matter what epic celestial event is happening, we’re guaranteed to be cloud locked here.
Even if the Sweet Meteor O’ Death finally shows up one night, I will absolutely not get to see it.
😑
Your location would be illuminating even if the Northern Lights are not! 😀
Sorry, central NY State.
