Zachary Gutierrez+FollowNorthern Lights Alert: 13 States in Play!The northern lights might be putting on a surprise show tonight in 13 US states! Thanks to recent solar storms, places as far south as Oregon and Illinois could catch a glimpse (though Alaska’s still your best bet). If you’re in one of these lucky states, find a dark, north-facing spot around 1 a.m. and let your phone camera help spot faint auroras. Apps like “My Aurora Forecast” can give you real-time updates.
