Where to See the Northern Lights Tonight

The Northern Lights may be visible in parts of the U.S. on Friday night, with a Kp index of four indicating brighter displays. Canada and Alaska have higher chances of sightings, but the lights could also be seen in several U.S. states. Increased solar activity, part of the sun's 11-year cycle, is contributing to these geomagnetic storms. The best viewing times are between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., and it's advised to avoid light pollution and monitor weather conditions for optimal visibility.
