People in several northern U.S. states may be able to see aurora borealis, also know as the northern lights, on Tuesday night ahead of a minor geomagnetic storm that is set to hit. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)'s Space Weather Prediction Center has released its prediction for the aurora view line for Tuesday and Wednesday,

Aspiring viewers of the Northern Lights are encouraged to go as far north as possible, away from light pollution, and face the northern horizon. The best time to view the lights is between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time, and a high vantage point increases the likelihood of seeing the phenomena.

The northern lights are forecast for Jan. 31 through Feb. 1, 2025. Here's when and how to spot the last-minute auroras.

Here’s where best to see the northern lights when they are next visible across the UK again.  Last year will be remembered as the year the northern lights blazed across Great Britain, with some even witnessing the aurora borealis in their back gardens.

The Northern Lights are expected to glow over the night sky in parts of the UK over the next few nights, including this evening, the Met Office has said. If you live in northern and western Scotland, you'll probably be more likely to see the aurora borealis, according to a map shared by the forecasting service today.
