A coronal mass ejection (CME) heading toward Earth is expected to enhance the visibility of the aurora borealis across multiple U.S. states. Initial forecasts indicated that up to 18 states could witness the northern lights, with subsequent updates narrowing the number to around 8 to 10 states on specific nights. The phenomenon has been observed as recently as last week in upstate New York. Alongside the aurora, some forecasts also mention the possibility of seeing 'shooting stars' during the same period. The event is unfolding over several days, with states in the northern U.S. being the most likely to experience these displays.
