Solar storms are making the northern lights visible across much of the country this week.

But while the displays sparked social media joy, space weather forecasters warned of potential complications — geomagnetic storms can temporarily disrupt radio and satellite operations.

Forecasters say another coronal mass ejection — the Sun’s massive blasts of plasma and magnetic field that cause the geomagnetic storms behind the dazzling displays of color — was expected to hit Earth at midday Wednesday and be even stronger than Tuesday’s.
