Aurora Alerts

Latest Update: Northern Lights Are Visible in Several US States on July 13 On July 13, people living along the U.S.-Canada border can luckily get a glimpse of the northern lights. This is because an 11-year solar cycle that is expected to peak in 2024 has the potential to make the lights visible in places farther to the south. Usually, Northern Lights, also known as aurora borealis, occur most frequently over the Arctic Circle in places like Alaska, Canada, and Scandinavia. According to the forecast made by the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, the display would be visible in 17 states over two days: Washington, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, and Massachusetts on July 12, and Alaska, Montana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Indiana, Vermont, and Maryland on July 13.
