The northern part of the United States had the chance to see lights in the sky on Monday evening when the viewpoints for the Auroras end up on the border between Oregon-Washington.
The planet still has a “solar maximum” of the sun cycle 25, an approximately 11-year cycle of magnetic activity from the sun. Solar Maximim will last until 2026 and continue to bring the northern lights to the south than usual.
The Auroras could be visible on Monday evening on the edge of Oregon and in parts of Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Main and Alaska.
To see the lights, keep away from the light pollution and look towards the northern horizon.
Follow the 30-minute Aurora forecast of the space weather forecast center to see the latest predictions about where the lights are visible.
