In the days surrounding the Fourth of July, the sun reminded humanity of its restless power — releasing ten solar flares in a single day and sending waves of charged particles cascading toward Earth. What forecasters had modeled as a minor disturbance arrived instead as a G3 geomagnetic storm, illuminating skies across thirty states. Now, as the weekend settles, a second wave of aurora activity is expected to grace eight states, inviting those who live beneath those latitudes to look upward and witness the ancient conversation between the sun and our atmosphere.
