00:00Attention, everyone! Earth is about to get a cosmic visitor today, and it's coming
00:04in fast. On Sunday, the sun unleashed a huge burst of plasma, called a Coronal Mass Ejection
00:10or CME for short, rocketing toward Earth at an incredible speed of 650,000 miles per hour.
00:16By midday Wednesday, it will reach us. But don't panic, it's only a minor geomagnetic
00:21storm, classified as a G1 storm by NOAA. So, what does this mean for us? Well, if you're
00:27in the northern states like Michigan or Wisconsin, get ready for a stunning show of auroras lighting
00:32up the night sky. These beautiful displays of the northern lights are expected to be
00:35most active between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. To catch the best view, make sure to get far
00:41away from city lights. Why now? Well, it's no coincidence, right after the fall equinox,
00:47Earth's magnetic field aligns perfectly with the sun's, making us more vulnerable
00:51to solar storms. So, keep your eyes to the sky, especially if you live up north. You
00:56won't want to miss this dazzling, once-in-a-lifetime light show.
