The Daily Galaxy • • science
Key Points:
- The northern lights will be visible tonight across 25 U.S. states, extending from northern regions down to parts of the midsection, according to NOAA forecasts influenced by solar activity.
- States near the Canadian border, including Alaska, Minnesota, and New York, are expected to have the best and most intense auroral displays, while southern locations may see fainter lights.
- Optimal viewing times are between 10 PM and 2 AM local time, with the best conditions found in dark, rural areas away from city lights to avoid light pollution.
- The aurora borealis can vary from faint glows to vibrant streaks and may shift quickly, so observers should remain attentive during the viewing period.
- For photography, using a tripod and enabling night or pro mode on smartphones can help capture clearer images of the northern lights without needing professional equipment.
