The stunning northern lights might be visible in certain US states for the second night in a row on Monday night. Also called the aurora borealis, the northern lights may be spotted with the naked eye in some states, with a half dozen of them in the north having the highest chance.
The storm occurred hours before forecasted, and it’s possible that the lights were wasted on daylight, not to mention the obscuring power of the wildfire smoke. For obvious reasons, the light show requires a dark, and mostly clear, sky.
Did you see the northern lights in Iowa last night? A few Iowans were able to spot the aurora borealis through hazy skies.
According to Met Office aurora maps, the best time to see the Northern Lights in the UK is between 9pm and midnight on Monday night (June 2). Sunset in the UK is around 9.30pm and it typically takes 30 to 60 minutes after sunset for it to get fully dark, making 10.30pm a good time for aurora watchers to look for dazzling displays.
