Precautions and Conditions for Viewing the Aurora Borealis
- The solar storm's impact is not just limited to spectacular visuals; it can also affect technology on Earth. Disruptions to high-frequency communications, satellite operations, and electrical grids are possible as the charged particles interact with Earth's magnetic field. Experts advise those in affected areas to be cautious of potential outages or disruptions. In particular, residents in northern California and Alabama may also have a chance to witness the auroras, which is unusual for these regions.
