A significant coronal mass ejection (CME) is expected to arrive tonight at 2300 EST, potentially allowing auroras to be visible as far south as the Midwestern United States. Observers in northern locations are currently reporting clear skies but have not yet seen any auroras. There is a suggestion to wait until the predicted time for visibility, as conditions may change. Additionally, users are encouraged to follow a related thread for updates on solar activity that can help predict aurora occurrences. The excitement around tonight's event highlights the interest in solar weather and its effects on aurora visibility.

Thread 'Population 3 star (Pop III) candidate LAP1'

"Pop III stars are thought to be composed entirely of helium and hydrogen with trace amounts of lithium, the ingredients left over after the Big Bang. They formed early on, around 200 million years after the universe began. These stars are extremely rare because they died out long ago, although scientists have hoped that the faint light from these distant, ancient objects would be detectable.
