Aurora Alert: Northern Lights Expected in Various US States
TL;DR Summary
The northern lights, or aurora borealis, may be visible in parts of New England overnight, with the best viewing time between midnight and 4 a.m. on Friday. The lights are caused by solar storms and occur when charged particles from the sun interact with Earth's atmosphere. The current solar cycle is approaching its peak, resulting in heightened aurora activity. The northern tier of the U.S., including Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire, offers the most vibrant colors for viewing the northern lights.
