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

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.

The likelihood of seeing the northern lights will be low for most of the U.S. on Monday, but northern New Hampshire and Maine are in the predicted view line. The website Aurora Reach predicts there is about a 34% chance odds that people will be able to see the northern lights at 11 p.m. tonight. They made the same prediction for Boston.
