Aurora Borealis Expected Over North America Tonight

Best Viewing Times: 10pm - Midnight

Location: Northern United States and Canada

The Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a forecast for the northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, predicting that the best viewing times will be within an hour or two of midnight, between 10 pm and midnight, for tonight and tomorrow night.

For the best viewing experience, the Space Weather Prediction Center recommends getting away from city lights and finding a dark location with a clear view of the northern horizon.

The aurora borealis is a natural light display in the sky, caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's magnetic field. The lights can appear in a variety of colors, including green, red, pink, and purple.

The Space Weather Prediction Center provides a prediction of the aurora's visibility on its website, which can be helpful in planning for the best viewing times.
