A breathtaking celestial event is on the horizon as a powerful geomagnetic storm is set to light up the skies over 22 U.S. states with the aurora borealis tonight, March 22, 2025. Driven by a coronal mass ejection (CME) from the sun, this rare phenomenon could extend visibility to regions that seldom witness the northern lights. States like Alaska, North Dakota, and Minnesota are prime viewing spots, while New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts may also catch a glimpse under clear conditions. The best viewing window is between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m., with experts recommending rural, elevated locations for optimal visibility. This event marks a continuation of heightened solar activity during the sun’s “solar maximum” phase, offering a golden opportunity for aurora enthusiasts to witness nature’s most dazzling light show.
