Northern Lights May Return This Week After Huge Solar Flare, But NOAA Sees Only a Glancing Hit

Boulder, Colorado—May 11, 2026, 14:04 MDT.

Still, a glancing blow—or a shock arrival—could reach Earth late on May 12 or early May 13 UTC, the agency noted. (Space Weather) Northern lights activity isn’t off the table, though it won’t reach major storm status, according to NOAA.
