<![CDATA[ Auroras may be visible from Alaska to Wyoming tonight as Earth braces for impact from a speedy coronal mass ejection. ]]>
Auroras are natural light displays predominantly seen in high-latitude regions around the Arctic and Antarctic. They occur when charged particles from the sun collide with atoms in Earth's atmosphere, resulting in beautiful, colorful lights in the sky.
Coronal Mass Ejections are large expulsions of plasma and magnetic field from the sun's corona. They can disrupt space weather and affect satellite operations, power grids, and even create beautiful auroras on Earth.
