Wednesday and Thursday nights offer a great opportunity to see the northern lights, also known as the Aurora Borealis, without taking a trip to Alaska or Canada.

Space experts from Alaska to the lower 48 differ in their projections, yet the northern tier states from Maine to Washington have the best chance to see the Aurora in the lower 48 states.
