Aurora Borealis' Lights May Be Visible in 13 States Tonight

Here’s the best time to see them

If you missed the northern lights, or aurora borealis, over the past weekend, you’re in luck—you may have a second chance tonight, June 2, when they may be visible for a second night in a row in some U.S. states across the country.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) forecasts that the next possibility for viewing the northern lights is Monday night into early Tuesday, with the most intense activity across Canada and Alaska and the northern U.S. states.

This aurora borealis is the result of a geomagnetic storm that occurs when a coronal mass ejection (CME), an eruption of solar material, reaches Earth and causes swaths of blue, green, and purple in the sky. This year's increased solar activity is likely the result of an 11-year sun cycle peaking through October.
