"Northern Lights: A Rare Spectacle Across Multiple US States Next Week"

Seventeen US states, including Alaska, Montana, and Michigan, are expected to witness the northern lights next week due to a predicted geomagnetic storm. However, Arizona is not on the list as the storm may not be strong enough to expand into the state. The northern lights have been occurring more frequently as the sun reaches its 11-year solar maximum cycle, and while Arizona had a rare glimpse of the lights earlier this year, it may have to wait until the solar activity peaks in 2025 for another opportunity.
