Northern Lights leave people in the US in awe as beautiful colors paint the night sky

After one night of spectacular views formed by the Aurora Borealis, people are eager to witness it again, as the Northern Lights will turn the sky colorful in several parts of the country on Monday, April 25, 2023, but what time will it be visible tonight and can you see it?

Millions of people in the Northern United States will be able to witness the night phenomenon with their naked eyes.

The Aurora Borealis is said to have been caused by the solar flares directed towards Earth after an eruption on Friday. 30 states, from Washington to Maine, will see it for the second night in a row.

What time will the Northern Lights be visible tonight?

The best time to see the Northern Lights tonight is between 10 PM and 2 AM local time. It is advised to travel far from the city lights to get the best view of the astronomical phenomenon.

The event occurring in the sky is rare and people travel all the way to the Arctic regions to see the radiations from the sun paint the sky in different hues when they interact with Earth’s magnetic field.

The interaction channels the radiations toward the north and south magnetic poles, forming the Northern and Southern Lights –  Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis.

The Northern Lights are most visible between late September and early April, when the Arctic sky is dark under suitable conditions.
