Unexpected places in the U.S. experienced colorful auroras due to solar storms on Tuesday night.

GPS communications and the power grid were affected by the severe solar storms that reached as far south as Kansas, Colorado, and Texas.

The sun emitted coronal mass ejections over the past few days, with more energy bursts expected, causing potential severe storm alerts.

The brightness and visibility of the auroras depend on their interaction with Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere, with more displays anticipated during the 11-year solar activity cycle.

Skygazers witness northern and southern lights deeper into the United States and Europe due to the sun's magnetic pole shift every 11 years.

Severe solar storms have the potential to disrupt power grids, air traffic control, radio communications, and satellites, warning of the impacts from such events is essential.

Despite the challenges posed by solar storms, experts suggest watching for auroras in quiet, dark areas away from city lights, and using smartphone cameras for photography.

Preparation before solar outbursts is crucial, and forecasts for northern lights can be accessed on NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center website or dedicated apps.
