(NEXSTAR) — A severe solar storm impacting Earth could bring the northern lights to portions of the U.S. on Thursday.
Earlier this week, a massive solar flare was detected on the Sun, followed by a fast-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) directed toward Earth.
The flare sparked solar radiation storm conditions on Wednesday, posing a risk to satellites, communication signals and GPS systems. NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) also issued a severe geomagnetic storm watch for the CME.
A rare deluge of rainfall has left lagoons of water amid the palm trees and sand dunes of the Sahara desert. Some regions are seeing more water than they had in decades. Residents surveyed the scene in awe. Southeastern Morocco’s desert is among the world's most barren and arid places and rarely experiences rain in late summer. This rainfall will likely help refill the large groundwater aquifers, but it left dozens dead in Morocco and Algeria.
