Each eleven years or so, the sun reaches a crescendo of activity, and the sky above us becomes a canvas for forces far older than any human concern. This weekend, NOAA forecasts that solar radiation will carry the aurora borealis southward across Michigan, Wisconsin, Washington, and neighboring northern states, peaking in the late-night hours through Monday. The same energy that paints the sky green and red carries quieter consequences — radio frequencies may falter, and power grids face the possibility of disruption. It is a reminder that we live not merely on a planet, but within a solar sys
