A series of tweets have highlighted the occurrence of geomagnetic storms and the potential for spectacular displays of the Northern Lights in Wales and the US. The storms, with a magnitude of 5, are expected to hit the Earth on January 22 and 23, triggering a geomagnetic storm watch and a moderate solar storm. The eruption of solar material and coronal mass ejection have been detected, leading to the anticipation of a spectacular show for sky watchers. The storms may also cause headaches and weakness in people sensitive to weather changes. The Solar Ultraviolet Imager instrument observed a coronal mass ejection near the center-left of the sun, contributing to the expected geomagnetic storm.
