These celestial weather patterns, like a shockwave of particles from the sun, bombard Earth\u2019s magnetic shield. The interplay between those solar particles with Earth\u2019s atoms and molecules of oxygen, nitrogen and other elements causes a dazzling dance of lights in green, indigo and violet.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_are_Northern_Lights_visible\"><\/span>Where are Northern Lights visible?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s usually only residents of the Arctic Circle, such as Finland, Norway, Sweden, and parts of Canada, as well as Alaska, who typically enjoy the celestial phenomenon. But thanks to the uncommon strength of the current solar storms, the SWPC has predicted visibility \u201con the horizon\u201d as far south as the American Midwest, northern Idaho and Iowa, and most of Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_see_the_Northern_Lights_in_the_US\"><\/span>How to see the Northern Lights in the US<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Only some states with regions that hug the border of Canada, such as Aroostook County, Maine, and the Great Lakes peninsulas can hope to see the lights directly overhead. Otherwise, skywatchers will need a long, unobstructed field of vision and low light pollution to be able to spot the whirling ribbons of light in the distance \u2014 so city dwellers of NYC, Detroit and Chicago are probably out of luck, despite technically making the cut. Even those in the woods will have a hard time, unless they can find themselves on high ground, above trees and hills.<\/p>\n<p>Last night, one photographer on Michigan\u2019s Keweenaw Peninsula captured a spectacular green glow over Lake Superior.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, there\u2019s no guaranteeing a show, even for those who fall within the visibility perimeter, but experts advise star gazers to look up between 8 p.m. tonight and 5 a.m. on Tuesday morning, and especially between 11 p.m. to 2 a.m., when geomagnetic activity is expected to peak for the night.<\/p>\n<p>More bad <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a> for neighbors of the \u201cGreat White North\u201d: There\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.windy.com\/-Rain-thunder-rain?rain,48.390,-90.539,4\">possible rain and thunder in the forecast<\/a> for the Great Lakes region as well as New England \u2014 meaning that the best days for viewing the Northern Lights this year may already be behind us.\n            <\/div>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">For forums sites go to <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/forum.buradabiliyorum.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Forum.BuradaBiliyorum.Com<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>If you want to read more News articles, you can visit our <span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.buradabiliyorum.com\/news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">News category.<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"color: black;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2020\/09\/28\/which-states-can-see-the-northern-lights-tonight\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;#Which states can see the Northern Lights tonight?&#8221; Americans are finally seeing the light.
