Get ready for a celestial show! Three powerful solar explosions, or coronal mass ejections (CMEs), are expected to hit Earth's magnetic field this weekend, potentially bringing stunning auroras as far south as New York and Idaho. This coincides with the peak of the Perseid meteor shower, making it an ideal time for stargazers. The CMEs are expected to trigger a mild geomagnetic storm, which could create colorful auroras visible in the northern parts of most states along the U.S.-Canada border.
