Experts at NOAA recommend prospective aurora viewers travel north, towards the Earth’s magnetic north pole. They should position themselves on a vantage point with a clear view towards the north, and away from bright city lights. The aurora is most active in the hours around midnight, so viewers should plan to watch between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m.
The Aurora Borealis was spotted in a large swath of states, including Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Washington state. Northern lights were visible as far south as parts of Florida and Alabama, a relatively rare occurrence that highlights the severity of this week's storms.
