**Excerpt:**
*”If you’ve ever dreamed of witnessing the northern lights, tonight could be your chance—even if you’re far from Alaska or Scandinavia. Due to heightened solar activity, parts of the northern U.S. might catch a rare glimpse of the aurora borealis on Monday night, March 31, 2025. NOAA’s aurora forecast suggests eight states—from Northeastern Washington to Northern Maine—have a slim but possible chance of spotting the lights between 10 PM and 2 AM local time. With the sun in a 500-year peak of activity, experts call this a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many in the contiguous U.S. Bundle up, find a dark spot, and look north for a celestial spectacle.”*
