Astronomers predict that a rare merger of two solar eruptions will result in spectacular Northern Lights visible further south than usual, including across much of the United States and Europe. The event is triggered by a massive X-class flare from sunspot 4455, followed by multiple coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that travel at speeds of approximately 2,000 km per second. These CMEs are expected to combine into a 'cannibal' eruption, leading to a strong magnetic storm around Earth. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has indicated that the storm could create vibrant auroras as far south as central England and Wales, and in the US, states like Iowa, Ohio, and Pennsylvania may witness the phenomenon. This activity is part of the Sun's current 11-year activity cycle, which has seen a record number of X-class flares, and sunspot 4455 is noted for its reversed magnetic polarity, making it particularly unstable and prone to such eruptions. Experts suggest that this may not be the last of its kind from this sunspot, as it continues to exhibit unusual behavior.
