A stunning aurora forecast indicates that the Northern Lights could be visible tonight across 24 states, including as far south as Illinois and Oregon. This rare celestial event is attributed to a significant hole in the Sun’s atmosphere, allowing solar particles to illuminate the night sky.
Skywatchers are encouraged to find dark locations away from city lights for the best chance to witness this spectacular display. The conditions are favorable for auroras this weekend, making it an exciting opportunity for many across the U.S.
