The best place to view them is an area with dark skies, which won’t be possible with city lights. In Illinois, there’s the Green River State Wildlife Area about two hours west of Chicago.
An aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, is seen in the early morning hours of April 24, 2023, near Washtucna, Washington. A solar storm forecast for Thursday, July 13, is expected to give skygazers in more than a dozen American states a chance to glimpse the northern lights.
The Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska at Fairbanks forecasts high auroral activity on Thursday in Midwestern states like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana.The aurora will be visible “low on the horizon” across Chicago, with the city light pollution making it harder to spot.The colorful spectacle occurs when particles from the sun collide with gas molecules in Earth’s atmosphere.
Between now and 2025, the lights will be visible to more of the northern hemisphere, the institute says, because of the sun’s 11-year cycle variation, which refers to how sunspots change over time. We’re nearing the peak year of 2025, when chances of seeing the aurora at lower latitudes are the highest.
