The sun is sending a strong storm to Earth now. This storm may make colorful lights in the sky. These lights, called auroras, could be seen in many U.S. states.
The sun sent out big bursts of energy this week. These bursts are called coronal mass ejections. Scientists who study space weather have issued a storm watch.
The sun is changing a lot during an 11-year cycle. This makes the lights more common and widespread. Experts say we will see more auroras this year.

Scientists can't predict storms months ahead of time. They warn people a few days before the storm hits. You can find aurora forecasts on the NOAA website or app.
