display of northern lights could light up U.S. skies this New Year’s Eve. Find out where and when to look…Follow for more insightful posts. Solar storms may create a rare opportunity to see the northern lights across parts of the United States just in time for the new year. According to NOAA, the sun has expelled two plasma bursts expected to arrive early this week, potentially sparking auroras on Monday and Tuesday nights. States with the highest likelihood of visibility include Alaska, Washington, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, and Michigan. Others, such as Oregon, New York, and even parts of Iowa, could also catch glimpses of this natural phenomenon. For the best viewing experience, step outside during the early hours of Tuesday morning while skies are still dark. Avoid city lights for a clearer view, and consider using your smartphone camera to capture faint colors invisible to the naked eye. This spectacle is tied to the sun’s 11-year cycle, currently at its most active phase. With heightened solar activity expected to continue into next year, moments like these may become more frequent—but they remain unpredictable. For live updates, check NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center or aurora forecasting app. Whether you’re in a prime viewing zone or just hoping for a lucky glimpse, this could be a once-in-a-lifetime way to welcome 2025.
