Once in a great while, the sun's restlessness becomes visible to those who rarely think to look up. A powerful geomagnetic storm, born from coronal mass ejections hurled across space, is set to compress Earth's magnetic field and push the aurora borealis deep into American skies — from Northern California to Alabama — on Sunday night into Monday morning. For millions who have never traveled to the Arctic to witness this phenomenon, the cosmos is, for a brief window, coming to them. It is a reminder that we live not merely on a planet, but within a living, breathing solar system.
