Earth in solar flare “crosshairs” after auroras lit up U.S. skies

Posted in futurism

Our planet might be hit by another massive solar flare Monday, following multiple northern lights sightings across the U.S. on Sunday night.

There is a 30 percent chance of an X-class solar flare hitting us on October 7, and a 75 percent chance of an M-class flare being seen, due to the Earth being in the “crosshairs” of six volatile sunspots on the sun’s surface.

This comes as 14 U.S. states caught a glimpse of the northern lights on Sunday night, thanks to a G1 to G2-strength geomagnetic storm.
