Projections from NASA and NOAA suggest northern lights displays will be more visible in more U.S. states through early 2026, after activity on the sun’s surface

One expert told Newsweek: "With this increased activity, we have a reasonable expectation to see more auroral activity for many months to come."

The northern lights — also called aurora borealis — could be visible in Alaska, Washington, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Michigan, Maine, northern parts of Idaho, Wyoming, Iowa, New York, Vermont and New Hampshire.
