For two nights, dazzling auroras delighted sky-gazers in unexpected places, including in the US as far south as Florida. The cause: dual solar storms unleashed by the sun reaching Earth. A severe storm was initially predicted for Thursday as well,

A geomagnetic storm caused a kaleidoscopic array of colors to illuminate the sky across North America from Wisconsin to Florida on November 11 — and we could see a repeat tonight across multiple states, including New York, should these cosmic conditions persist.

Geomagnetic storms brought the northern lights to much of the U.S. and some parts of Florida, on the night of Nov. 11, 2025.

The Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania are getting treated to the ultimate light show in the sky Tuesday night. Northern lights are visible across the region, and much of the northern United States, as severe solar storms hit Earth, producing colorful auroras.

At least one space launch has been put on hold, as satellite operators and rocket companies manage the effects of the current geomagnetic storm hitting Earth.

A severe solar storm that unleashed views of the northern lights is also now responsible for foiling the launch of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket.
