A stunning display of the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, is expected to light up skies across more than 20 U.S. states tonight. According to weather and space experts, an intense geomagnetic storm caused by solar activity will make the colorful spectacle visible far beyond its usual northern range. Residents from states like Michigan, New York, Wisconsin, and even as far south as Kansas and Missouri could catch the breathtaking glow. Experts recommend heading away from city lights for the best viewing experience, preferably between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time. Clear skies and minimal light pollution will improve visibility.
