Aurora Borealis Set for a Spectacular Display Tonight and Tomorrow Night

Unusually Strong Solar Storm Creates Opportunity for Northern Lights

An historic geomagnetic storm has given millions of people in the Northern Hemisphere a spectacular display of the aurora borealis. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts that the show will continue tonight and tomorrow night, with a slightly weaker display expected.

Viewline for Aurora Borealis

The NOAA has created a viewline map that shows the areas that are most likely to see the aurora borealis. The map is based on the intensity of the geomagnetic storm and the location of the storm. According to the map, Chicago and other areas in the northern United States are in the prime viewing area for the aurora borealis.

Tips for Viewing the Aurora Borealis

If you want to see the aurora borealis, it is important to find a dark location with a clear view of the horizon. You should also be patient, as it may take some time for the aurora to appear. The best time to see the aurora is typically between 10 pm and 2 am.
